I’m ok, don’t you worry about me.

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Feeling like a burden. Complaining that your hurting. Always in pain but trying to hide it. This is how I feel at the moment. I’m constantly being asked if I’m ok. It doesn’t offend me, it’s a perfectly acceptable question. But it’s hard to be honest. This poem explains why.

I’m ok, don’t you worry about me.
Learning to get on with life.

Currently living in Hong Kong, I am originally from Liverpool, UK. In December 2019 my world was turned upside down when I found out I had Melanoma. It wasn't until after my 40th birthday in January 2020 that I discovered the melanoma had got into my lymph nodes putting me at stage 3. This blog was set up to document my journey. It is an honest and open account of everything we are going through as a family. We are currently taking one day at a time and trying to keep things as normal as possible. xx

  1. Beautiful words. I can totally empathise with how you feel. Even though I’m in a good place at the moment the rawness of what melanoma has done to me is always there. I don’t want to burden my family they’ve been through too much so I keep it to myself. Sometimes it only takes a lyric in a song to bring the emotions pouring out. This tends to happen when I’m alone in the car listening to music.
