Fighting the demon

( in the loving memory of my lovely grandmother, who won her fight against cancer.)

Its time today, now

Time to wake up,

Time to leave behind the strangling sheets,

Time to open the window to let fresh air in...

Time to look up at the sky as it turns PINK...

Its easy to turn  your back,

To let it roam free, to let it attack,

But is it fair?

Let it attack when your loved ones are there?

Imagine...

She means the world to you,

Your existence relies on her...

Would you let it take her away?

Or do all it takes to make her stay?

It is vile, has no feelings,

Wrenches your heart out every single moment;

Knowing that your end is nearby

You are going to leave;

Yet, it is going to stay...

Taking away thousands of lives,

Destroying many more...

I have seen my own grandma,

Crying all night in pain...

But I have also seen,

Her as healthy again...

We took a step, we didn’t let it take her away,

Its time for you...

Take a step... because its time...

Tell the demon we will fight you;

We will stop you...

We will save our loved ones...

Because it is time...
