Medication~ By Kauser Parveen

9/6/2013

I let the medication
Enter into my body
Polluting
Invading
Destroying
All within its reach
All that is healthy
I watched it destroy me
I watched it destroy my life
It made me angry
It made me sick
It made me hate
Until the next time
Knowing it was making me live

Author Bio:
I am a mother with 2 children undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer. This point reflects my immediate thoughts.

First and foremost, I wish you health. Your poem captures what I've always imagined chemo to be. In fact, as I read the poem, I thought it was about chemo before I read your bio. Again, I wish you health. Thank you for giving voice to the struggle.
