Hand of Cards

I played the game, my cards were dealt Cancer came to steal my health I reached out and asked for help I had to push myself This news didn't feel real I just got a bad deal I didn't know how to feel But now I'm blessed 'cause I was healed Docs told me I would need chemo Scared to death, that word was lethal Long infusions, all those needles My treatment made me feeble It took my strength like a robbery It had to be an anomaly Bad luck, I hit the lottery No chance it was stopping me I played the game, my cards were dealt Cancer came to steal my health I reached out and asked for help I had to push myself This news didn't feel real I just got a bad deal I didn't know how to feel But now I'm blessed 'cause I was healed I had to numb my skin with lidocaine Then the nurses put that red devil in my veins Slumped on the couch, my energy was drained I couldn't think straight, I had chemo brain My mind was foggy, felt so groggy Burning pain throughout my body Rounds of chemo killed my demons I'm rising like a phoenix I played the game, my cards were dealt Cancer came to steal my health I reached out and asked for help I had to push myself This news didn't feel real I just got a bad deal I didn't know how to feel But now I'm blessed 'cause I was healed This was news I didn't share Toxic drugs took all my hair Made it through with lots of prayer Thank God my life was spared I had to push through all the pain I survived, I'm not the same Now my perspective has changed I'm a lion with a new mane I'm rising like a phoenix God vanquished my demons Life comes in seasons Everything happens for a reason
