Emotional Tumors

The anger within you

The depression of my own

Together we can view

What inside of us has grown

In your youth, as a child, you had such violent thoughts

In your mind, it was revenge that you constantly sought

In your life, there was a fire that blazed behind your eyes

In your dreams, you saw visions of the one you grew to despise

The hatred and rage you cannot let go

Like tumors inside, they continue to grow

Will they erupt, and kill you in a flash?

Or will you succeed to cure them at last?

The anger within you

The depression of my own

Together we can view

What inside of us has grown

In my youth, as a child, I had many lonely days

In my mind, I had hopes of escaping someday

In my life, I held depression as my closest friend

In my dreams, I thought of my life, and how to make it end

The sorrow and stress I cannot let go

Like tumors inside, they continue to grow

Will they erupt, and kill me in a flash?

Or will I succeed to cure them at last?

I fell into the darkness

That you fought with all of your might

My hopes slowly grew less

While you had your goals in sight

I catered thoughts of suicide

I dwelled upon the negative

You took on life, and kept your pride

You refused to quit. You dared to live

Through hatred and rage, you had grown strong

When used to your advantage, the tumors died before long

But through sorrow and stress, I had grown weak

My tumors became larger, and my future became bleak

Then you became an idol, you forced me to see hope

Of somehow surviving, of somehow learning to cope

Would I succeed? Suddenly I became sure

It was then that I realized that you'd handed me the cure

This poem is dedicated to my cousin Jim,

who helped me through the roughest times of my life.

Thanks for being there.
