As cancer ravaged my dad’s body, he hated his reflection more and more. It was heartbreaking and I always tried to boost him up.
The distorted image of your reflection
Caused your heart so much misery
It spurred on depression and suffering
You could not bare to see yourself
Dodging it became an art
If only you could see what I saw
You would have been kind to you
To much emphasis is on physicality
I could not care less about how you looked
I lied to you all the same when you asked
I told you were getting a right belly,
I knew it was what you wanted to hear
It was more important to boost you crushed ego
Than to be truthful and right
I hate cancer for what it did to you
For robbing you and taking all it could.
