A Terminal Friend!

Sometimes I find it hard seeing through my eyes
seeing the truth of hurt I cause
in my wicked loathing disguise

I see the hate when I look at myself
the evil within my stare
wipe away the mist
my breathing has caused
still everything is unclear!

someone bring me from my shadows
pull me through the rain
tell me why Im on this earth
causing so much pain

I cannot cure
once my heart has kicked in
even if you are a chancer
for my friend dont get to know me!
as I am the human cancer!

Lisa~

***EDITING HERE***
I apologize for my misinterpretation of your intent ... on a second reading, coupled with your explanation, I now see that you were speaking in the voice of the 'cancer' ... thank you for enlightening me~

Having had cancer claim the life of a young friend of just 22 years of age ... I can surely feel your pain~
Again, I apologize~
