Breast Cancer Assault-Pinktober 2

Silently you crept onto my weakened chest; Grew huge until pain flooded my core, Then put inner will to an arduous test. You were found when I undressed; Gently rubbed where I was sore, Silently you crept onto my weakened chest. Slowly you took away all my zest, But I wanted to even the score; Then put inner will to an arduous test. I did what I thought to be the best; So I fought your callous bloody war, Silently you crept onto my weakened chest. Thought this must be my life’s quest; Thus I fought like I have never fought before, Then put inner will to an arduous test. I consider myself extremely blessed; Fighting like a lion’s fierce roar. Silently you crept onto my weakened chest; Then put inner will to an arduous test. Copyright © 2015 By Caryl S.
