The doctor said;

​​​​​yes, she said, 

"stay in bed."



The hospital is a very lonely place, 

A place where worries come face to face. 



I've been waiting days now;

days for answers, 

To see if it's actually cancer. 



Have you heard the rumor? 

I have a thoracic tumor. 



Could it be? 

I don't want to worry, 

But I'm in a hurry. 

I need answers. 

I really hope it's not cancer. 



God, don't you think I'm going through enough? 

I know I have to be tough, 

But this waiting game is rough. 



I just need to know, 

Yes or no. 

Where'd everyone go? 

my support system is leaving, oh no. 

I'm feeling very low. 



Like, this is a huge deal, 

Do they even know how I feel? 

Obviously not, it's so surreal. 



If they're not there for me now, they'll never be again. 

​​​​​They're not my friends. 

They said they'll be there until the end. 



But I can't let that get me down. 

I can't frown. 

Gotta smile, 

Let it last awhile. 



Kari, do you know what you're capable of? 

You've gone through so much, love. 

You've gotta be happy. 

Life... Try me.
