Dear Cancer,

No one likes you.

Who would like you? Seriously, though. I am not going to sugar coat it. I am not going to spare your feelings because you don't spare anyone else's. I am writing this to you because of my mom. You turned my family's world upside down. During the holiday season, "a happy time", you came into our lives. You flipped my mom's life around, and then just a few days later you did the same to her twin sister. How could I not hate you? You turned my family's favorite time of year into the most stressful time of our lives. Are we supposed to pretend this is okay? It's far from okay, Cancer. You deserve to be punished. Not just because you hurt my family but you hurt too many families. Millions of families all over the world.

You are a bully. You are a murderer. I hate you. The whole world hates you. I hate everything about you. I hate how you destroy happiness. I hate the pain you bring to people. I hate the depression you cause. I hate how you take so many lives away from this earth. I hate having to hear my little brother ask, "Is mom going to die?" all because of you. I hate how my mom has to miss things because of you. You take up too much time. I hate how you drain people. Drain them of their energy, time, happiness, and even money.

Hearing your name brings tears to my eyes and hate in my heart. I hate you. You effect everyone in some way. Everyone knows someone affected by you. No one can get away from you. You destroy lives everyday, and do you even care? I don't think so. People have been trying to get rid of you for years, but you don't want to change. You don't want to be fixed. We've tried.

Am I being too harsh? Honestly, Cancer, I don't care. You are harsh to everyone else. So I am giving you a taste of your own medicine. I want you gone, and so does everyone else in this world. So can't you just back off? Give us a break. Give my mom a break. Give my whole family a break. Go home and never come back. No one wants you here. We don't want your company. I'll say it again, I hate you. I will keep saying it until you leave this planet for good. So please please leave and don't come back. Ever.

-The World
