paint a picture... paint a smile

 This was never a post I thought I would find myself writing

not me

not the one who always thought negatively

expected the worst


not after all this time and heartache

not after all this shit i've climbed through beaten and broken

not me 

not cancer

not me


why me

did i bring this on myself

did i tempt it with my bullshit comments about it 

why did they say i didn't if i did

why would anyone do that


this was never a post i thought i would be writing

and yet here i am 

typing full of such anger and pain and emotion

without any way of expelling it

this bucket is so full its pouring over the edges

water everywhere

blood and my soul is spilling

spilling out in front of you all

devastated you say

devastated?

should i feel eased at such a word

should i feel better

are you sorry?

why, did you do it?

is this even you feeling this right now

this tumour 

in my body 

in my body every morning i wake reminded of this living nightmare

this tumour, this lump each night i fall asleep in my uneasy awful position 


no 

dont be sorry

dont be devastated

help me 

please someone help me 

help me get through this 


until then i will grab my make up bag

and continue to draw on my smile

what other choice do i have
