Requiem in Hospital

Requiem in Hospital
(say yone paw hma alinkaI have
This disease for sure.

During treament
It seems it retreated
Or it relapsed back.

Until today
I'm comfortable.

It's unpredictable
It's able to relapse
Spread metastases
To cover heart and liver
So cruel a killer.

I'm not afraid
Of diseas and old age
I'm waiting for the death train.

For children
I've written poems
But never concluded them
So i am relented, my only regret then.
