Robert Macias, aka R.M. Drake, who has become famous thanks to his inspirational poems, was the subject of actress Shannen Doherty's latest Instagram post.
"She was fierce, she was strong, she wasn't simple. She was crazy and sometimes she barely slept. She always had something to say. She had flaws and that was OK.
"And when she was down, she got right back up. She was a beast in her own way, but one idea described her best. She was unstoppable and she took anything she wanted with a smile."
Doherty posted Drake’s poem, titled “# 187,” alongside a new photo of her in the midst of her cancer battle.

“For me, chemo has been terrible and believe me, we have tried almost everything. So days like this have become a bit of the norm,” Doherty wrote.
“I’m learning that it’s ok to fall into bed and give in to the exhaustion or nausea or aches. I’ve learned a lot of that thru all the beautiful people who have shared their personal stories with me right here on Instagram.”
