This is a poem in response to a question of "What would you say to yourself back as a child of what you know now if you knew it back then?"

Everone thought you were a hypochondriac.
However, the first brainstem tumor
came a knocking at your door at the young age of 18 years.
Take better care of yourself as a child and young adult.
Your mother ignored your pleas
for healthcare anyway, so it is up to you to FIGHT for your LIFE!
Your mother was too busy with the Alcoholic boyfriend who turned out to be the really real thing that goes BUMP in the night.

He is the Boogey-Man that a child is always feared about. That I have feared about.
I would be more AWARE of the boogey-man AND that mother CANNOT protect you!
