Harsh light of cancer

Let the light glare
Almost too intense to see it
But knowing tells me it is there
A simple thing
Harsh
sharp
Defining
The black hole with it's quazar
The dark shape back lit in bobbing flashlights
Seeking it
But inside me
My strength grows to encounter it
Counquer it
I stand tall
Shoulders back
Fists up
Ready to give it all I have to defeat it
Shine the light so it can not hide
On the word itself
On the cells gone heywire
Call it what ti is
CANCER
Take its power way by talking about it
Naming it for what it is
Do it again and again when needed
So that right now I do not fear it
All the subtilties
simply and honestly
Catch it like a criminal
Put in on a perp walk
Shame it/embarass it
take away its energy
clean expedient
Show no mercy to it
Only to the one who has it
Don't dance around it
Or avoid it
Face it head on
