My prostate cancer has come back and stronger, but so have I.

The Demon

I’ll face the demon,

I thought I beat years ago.

You’re back and stronger this time,

but so am I, so am I.

I wasn’t looking for this fight,

I was happy without you.

But you forced your way

back into my life

More doctors, more oncologists,

more blood drawn,

more drugs.

All looking to beat you.

So bring it on, let’s go!

I have an army behind me,

Doctors, family and friends

I’m ready for you.
