Confession

Confession…

Son, what is your confession?

I spaced out thinking about it

Father, I don’t like cancer

I made shirts that said Fuck Cancer

I put on a benefit concert and raised awareness

Is that a sin?

I want it dead, eradicated, cured

I dream about it

Is that a sin?

I yearn for a future with more birthdays

I covet the life my dreams have

Is that a sin?

I’ve lied telling people we’ll find a cure soon

Is that a sin?

I consume more hope

Never fill up though

Is that a sin?

I have thoughts of destroying it

Is that a sin?

I want to bring upon it

All the violence of science

Is that a sin?

I don’t like cancer
