Little Girl

This is a song/poem that I found on my computer just now. I wrote it sometime last year I think, and it's all about my experiance with cancer as a kid.
I felt like posting it in that it's been almost 11 year since I've been cancer free.

It's a very personal thing, but I kinda felt like putting it out there somewhere.

Little Girl, oh so small
She’s already seen it all
She’s knows suff’ring
She knows pain
The fear it could come back again

That little girl with eyes of blue
She’s already had so much to go though
Too young to truly understand
Only just started writing with her little left hand
She seemed so normal at first glance
But now her whole future’s up to chance

Pricks and needles, days so long
All these tests go on and on
Never feeling very well
Some days she really went through hell
It all left her tired and drained
How bad it was, was never really explained

Days turned to months and months to years,
Each bringing with them a bunch of new fears
Lonely and bored everyday in that room
People tried so hard to relieve all the gloom
There were toys and games she was spoilt so rotten
So many things that can’t be forgotten

People around her often stayed away
Not wanting to get close, in case she went away
Had so much more than the medicine to deal with
This really was no way for a small child to live
So much fighting, so much resolve
This was one puzzle she just couldn’t solve
Always known by those she met
Sometimes she wished everyone would simply forget

That she was brave and that she was strong,
That she was fighting and holding on
A little girl with so much to lose
This was a life no one would choose.

Her spirit was strong
Her smile so bright
She was all alone there in the night
So detached from the big world outside
So innocent and small she lay and cried
She didn’t know why it had chosen her
She wished it could all be like it was before
When she was just a normal girl
Back to when she was so tiny and small
