The Fight

The Fight
(A poem as a reaction for the podcast "The Rhetoric of Cancer")

Some people are chosen
To fight a battle within themselves
Most of them are unprepared
Most of them are afraid
A lot of them are in pain
A lot of them do everything to win
Win a battle that only they can fight

But what if it is not a battle
It is not a fight to win
There is no enemy within
Only a part of you that’s confused
That through help
Will become better
That through help
Will be better

This sickness
May not get better
Just by words, just by perspective
But the you who ‘struggles’
The you who ‘fights’
May just get better
By words, by perspective.
