Speaking Up

I'm about to do it again. 

Parade myself and my cancer-ness around the place. 

Flaunting my flaws. 

Dribbling on about myself, my wellness, my illness.

Exposing myself to accusations of bravery, or resilience, or miraculousness.

Exposing myself to the possibility of no one caring less, or throwing their eyes to heaven.

Would she ever shut up. 

Yeah yeah we know we know, stop going on about it. 


Oh well.

Too late now. 


I have cancer, you know.
