The Silent Monster

You don't have a single clue It attacks inside of you Silently it starts a war And sneaks a virus to the core Of your womanhood and breasts Putting your strength to the test Fighting a battle hard to win That's claimed victims time and again Your perseverance pulls you through The next surgery or two Leaving you a whole lot lighter Proving that you are a fighter Pink ribbon worn on your dress Hiding scars upon your flesh A pretty pink bow in your hair Until a wig is placed on there Holding hands with others who Raise money on walks right by you Candles lighting up the night Remember those who lost the fight To this monster that don't care Who it takes or when or where

You should enter this in that breast cancer contest. Although I cannot really relate on a personal level, I have had 3 family members pass away from cancer; horrible disease. But, seriously, enter that contest; I believe you have a chance of winning. Good job, Robin :)
