The Elephant in the Room is Cancer. Tea is the Relief Conversation Provides.
i wanted to run away-
trapped by a body
that no longer felt safe.
it was inside of me.
there was no way to escape.
i swear i could feel it crawling,
spreading beneath my skin.
but there was nowhere
to flee the betrayal because-
the enemy
came from within.

This is beautifully written and formatted. I never used to understand poetry very well, getting cancer and having a completely new way to read poems like this has changed that.
