I AM ELIJAH

When other kids
Look at me they
Just see no hair
A pair of blue
Eyes that don't
Smile but stare
Into their souls

But
I used to
Be like
Them

I
Get called
Baldy
Egghead
I get
Laughed at
Made fun of
But nobody
Except my
Mom & Dad
Really know
How hard
It is just to
Wake up in
The morning
To eat
To play

I AM ELIJAH

It's hard
And getting
Harder to
Just be
Myself

And
Sometimes
I look up
And I ask
God why
This has
Happened
To me

What
Did I do
To make
Him angry?
What did I
Do to deserve
This monster
My doctor
Calls cancer?

But
What the
Kids that
Make fun of
Me don't
Know & what

I AM ELIJAH

The cancer monster
Doesn't know
Is that I'm
A superhero
That has
Radioactive
Powers now
In his bloodstream
And that I'm
Stronger &
Tougher
Than them

And that
Someday
When I grow
Up that I will
Save the world
From other
Monsters &
Laughing
Super Villains
With just
The smallest
Stare through
The power of
My eyes that
Are connected

To my heart

I AM ELIJAH

So beware
All you monsters
Zombies, bad guys
And mean stupid
Jerks

My name
Is Elijah
And I'm
Going to
Save the
World
From death
