The C Word
No one wants to hear it
It’s becoming more and more
Common

The C Word
Everyone avoids it
It’s just such a
Catastrophe

The C Word
It makes mothers sad
Everywhere I hear
Crying

The C Word
It causes heartache
Because the D word might come after
Cancer.

The author's comments:
I keep hearing about this word. I hate it. It only makes people sad. Stay strong, all you cancer patients, survivors, and family.
