Hello
Couldn't sleep last night I know its anxiety because I am seeing my Consultant this evening. I know my last scan was very good but I cant help it. So feeling tired this morning. Wrote this at around 2.00am this morning.
I'm on a journey to I know not where.
live each day as though it's my last.
Who knows if it is.
Who knows what tomorrow may bring.
I have lived through a lot of things.
Some made me stronger.
Others brought me to my knees.
But I got up.
Each day a new beginning.
Hard as it is, life carries on.
I can smile or cry.
I choose to live.
Hi Tinlay
I have always written from being a child. I love words and it's my way of expressing my feelings i guess. When I was first diagnosed back in 2010 with my initial breast cancer, I had counselling then and was encouraged to take up writing again. I dont just write sad poems but happy ones as well. I have a page on Facebook called Poems by Elinor. Not many followers though as verse is not everyone's cup of tea. It helps to write when you dont want to say the words out loud. It works for me most of the time.
Hope you are keeping well.
