Attack, attack, attack!
Your chemical attacks!
Attacks longer than it should.
The drug attacks.
I’ve become it’s addict,
immunotherapy of mine, you are.
It enables life.

Attack, attack, attack!
The flurry of disease attacks!
No longer are you my chemotherapy.
Cancer you have become.
I fail to respond to treatment.
The tumor of you unleashes,
targets and invades my molecules.

Attack, attack, attack!
My immune system attacks back!
Significant is your approval no more!
Test and prevent your chemical,
diseased I will not be!
Living longer than expected without you.
Attack and fail you will.
