Blue Sky High
A survivor with a nearly 10-year journey with lung cancer and ongoing treatment writes a poem about the emotional ups and downs of living with cancer.
It’s been raining here for some time
Can’t stop gazing at the hopeful sky
Stand in fear and losing hope
Open up
Let out a hopeful cry
The blue sky high
No fear
The only thing I know how to do is breath
Be still now
Feels like I’m falling out of the sky
Diving into the blue sky high
The blue sky high
Day is dawning and I’m still here
Lift up hopeful cries in morning glow
Looking up peaceful flight
Open up to inner light and the blue sky high
