So Okay then…


So okay he had an aneurysm, and I know they are bad!
But he isn't dead yet! And he should be glad!
We don't lie down and die, roll over in bed…
Give it all up, throw life away and be dead!
No, more we fight the fight, and say a prayer!
Cos we survive the unthinkable, and we are still here!
So lose the negative inside your head!
And thank your lucky stars you are not dead!

So okay then, so what! So you had a glitch!
Hey, don't we all, life is never without a hitch!
But that doesn't mean that we roll over and die,
Nor do we wallow in self pity, and cry and cry!
No, we stay firm, focused and true!
Fight the fight and do what we have to do!
Face those fears, face them head on!
When you can do that, that's the day you've won!

So okay then, you have a problem, it could be worse!
You could be a poet like me, and write in verse!
Now that can be a pain, but I have to add!
My brain tumours did good, cos as a poet I'm not bad!
So instead of looking to the bleak side, look to the good!
Focus and stay strong, cos you know you should!
And one day you will see, you did fight the fight true!
Cos you're still alive, just like me, you fought it too!

So okay then, it's a little hard, I don't deny that fact!
And I have to be honest, I aint got much tact!
But I'm not one for pity, so don't even try!
I don't do self pity!  Want to know why?
Cos pity is for wimps, the weak and the frail,
And that sure isn't me; I am not one to fail!
So don't show me pity, more, show me some strength!
And keep it close, and you can draw on it at length!

So okay then, tears are allowed, its normal you see!
At the end of the day, I cry tears, oh, yes me!
Tears are the great healer, as long as it's not pity!
Cos that on my shoulders, don't sit on me pretty!
So blush those fears aside, and draw on your strength!
It will pull you back up, and support you at length!
Never look on the bleak, but more on the good!
Fight and fight, cos you know damn well you should!

Am I being harsh?  You think that's a fact?
Well let me be honest, I'm not known for my tact!
Pity brings tears of oh woe is me! You see!
And you won't get that negative emotion from me!

Cos only the positive will do!
So okay then, so what?
