Selfish

If I had wish
I wouldn’t use it
For the fear
That I would abuse it

I’d pretend to wish for others
Perhaps my brilliant and wonderful brothers

But truth be said
I’d wish for me instead

Selfish to the end,
It drives me round the bloody bend

I can’t be what I ought to be

And that’s because of the devil in me.

John Frank Trent

I am living with Stage 4 lung cancer that has spread to my brain. These are my thoughts. It is a combination of serious articles and more light hearted stuff (like my ridiculous poems). Early articles are a bit heavy, but hopefully it becomes a little more light hearted! This is not a self help site there will be no advice on cancer related matters just my thoughts. Just for the record my name is Iain Trent, I am using the Blog name of John Frank because they are the names of my Grandads. I did not want this blog to jump up to anyone who searched for me so it is a way of providing some limited anonymity hopefully without being a catfish.
