Hip Hop Poetry

Title: Are You Ready

It was like every other day coming home from school
Little did I know that life was about to be cruel
My parents were sitting in the living room
I wondered why
But I would find out soon

When the word cancer is mentioned you shutter
I asked my parents who had it with a stutter
Your five year old cousin Will
I suddenly felt a chill

How could a boy so young and pure
Have a rare cancer without a proven cure
I can not answer this question
Life taught me an important lesson

Live each day like its your last
Think about the future and how you can right your wrongs in the past
Because life comes at you fast

And one day you might not be ready
For the hard truth that makes you nervous and sweaty
And when it hits you
It's very heavy

And I can tell you now
That I wasn't ready
For the hard truth
That made me nervous and sweaty

Will you be ready?
