Poetry by Ciearra

At the age 12 I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, which is one of the deadliest types of cancer. I wrote this poem the night my family told me. I went down in my room and cried myself to sleep. I had 5 rounds of chemo and lost my whole summer. I am 13 now and I'm in remission(: I have never been happier and I have never loved life as much as I do now

So there was this boy I liked and he became my best friend. I had known him for 2 years when one night me and him were hanging out with a bunch of friends and our friends kept telling us to kiss so we covered our faces and started making kissing noises then suddenly he stopped and asked me out. It was the best thing that ever came out of his mouth(:
