A poem

Making Sense (June 2006)

I got Leukaemia because
I’ve always wanted short hair but would never
have been brave enough to cut it.

I got Leukaemia because
I told too many lies at school
and I bullied my little sister.

I got Leukaemia because
I needed to lose some weight and the gym
membership just wasn’t working.

I got Leukaemia because
I was going down the wrong path
and needed to be steered back in the right direction.

I got Leukaemia because
Only through suffering
do we truly understand and achieve our goals.

I got Leukaemia because
I am tougher and stronger than most
and I can prove to the others that survival is possible.

I got Leukaemia because…

I was just unlucky.
