After reading "help me live", by Lori Hope.(20 things people with cancer want you to know.)

Today, advice echoed
someone's failure;
"positive attitude"
took hope away;
gentle lies drowned sunlight,
judgment burned a tongue.

Realistic thinking was soothing
it's own fear,
pitty denied compassion;
"How are you ?" made questions
of tomorrows.
Unsolicited prayer
damned a God of choice;
volunteering the story of another
swallowed a soul.

Tomorrow only the heart will speak.
Hands will touch truth;
eyes will ask for permission
to be silent, will say:

"Tell me what you need."
