A constant burden, but never an inconvenience,

There is time enough they say, but do they mean it?

Encouragement is swift, but deflection is faster

A helping hand feels like charity to some, but verity for others

Your pain is everyone’s burden but no one’s responsibility

Everyone says you look great…. So you can’t look otherwise.

Fulfilled duty, but an emotional wasteland

Walking through a looking glass, where no one can follow

Topsy turvy into the land of chemo

Into surreal reality

Through the looking glass I go…
