Life Poetry ::: Wounded & Whole

no mercy no peace

Feb 23, 2026 | mortality

no mercy no peace

flailing against fate

No mercy, no peace,
I roar against the gnawing—
Wrath is my weapon.

Cancer claws away,
stealing time, joy, tender breath—
rage burns where life should

Fangs sink in my days,
cancer feasts where I once laughed
I curse its hunger.
