A poem about Breast cancer
Them:
“It’s treatable”
“You’re so strong”
“You’re an inspiration”
“You’ve got this”
“You’re so positive!”
Me:
Angry
Sad
Happy
Grateful
Scared
Hiding
Coping
Going on with life….
Here’s my poem.
Dear left breast
You’ve been with me so long
You grew through my teenage years
along with my sense of self
Femininity, developing personality
Did you define me?
You’ve been a part of me
ever since I can remember
Sadly never to suckle a baby
But in my twenties
shown off on foreign beaches
I’m proud of your shape and texture
I’ve never wanted to change you
Partners have stroked you
Lately you’ve been kissed and adored
more than ever by a new lover
Is that why it’s so hard to let you go?
It’s time
to thank you for being part of me
Time to let you go
Time to move on
to a new exciting summer
Love
From
Sarah
