Countdown City!

Today it begins, the path to the end,
the hardest part of the hard part
is behind me. 

A chemo port to be placed,
a countdown starts, 
each step I’ll endure.

It’s a mark of the fight, 
but I am no warrior,
I am just in a hurry for this to be over. 

A journey to take at my own stead.
today may be hard, but it’s part of the plan—
one step closer to reclaiming who I am.
