Outside Myself

Been a while since I've posted
Not because my mind was roasted
Haven't been myself lately
Wow!
If only you knew
How many scratches I've made
With new thoughts
But my surroundings were hindered
With obstacles
From the ground to the heavens
Problems piling upon one another
most simple were the hardest
Death trailing
Lingering on the youth
Once she was cute
Lost her hair through Kimo
A niece hides within herself
Withdrawn from sosiety
wanting to be left alone
wanting no one to view
The shadows
That refuse to walk by her side
As an adult I never saw her cry
She embraced my daughter
Junior to her in age
two souls separated by time
an embrace with tears entwined
tears escaped, time just moved on
Waits for no one
Left at awe
How could a lovely person
Disintegrate
Like a heavenly Rose, after it blossom
Leaving so many with only tears.

To my Lovely Niece Denise
struggling at an untimely
Moment in her life.

Dear William,
I'm so sorry to read about your travails. As someone who knows what it is like to suffer the effects of chemotherapy treatment, my heart bled for your niece. My heart goes out to you all through this time.
Please keep on writing. You do so extremely well.
Love Chanti

I agree that cancer is devastating and this week another friend passed away but she at least died in her sleep. We have another friend that is very ill and eventually the disease will catch up with him. I understand your feelings because I have pretty much been through the same thing this time of year.
