Good News

So much time spent
Preparing for the bad
It’s hard to know how
To not to feel sad

The relief creeps forward
Taking you hold
But you’re not sure if it’s real
No matter how you are told

You feel guilty for worrying
And unworthy of relief
Knowing that others
Still will suffer with grief

And then you feel lucky
And want to scream out loud
I don’t have cancer!
You feel almost proud

But holding it in,
You still feel ashamed
For being so cheerful
Though it seems so lame

Why all this worry
All this care and concern
But the potential was there
The answer you yearned

But now you can move on
And focus on life
How to take the motivation with you
That prior impending strife

Still want to be brave
And live without fear
To be bold enough
No matter where you steer

This moment has changed you
But not in the way
That had haunted you for weeks
And especially on this day
