After a diagnosis of breast cancer, many women face a range of emotional struggles – especially body-image issues....................................
Note: To all the women facing all kinds of emotional struggles especially when body image takes over with concerns. I wrote this poem and dedicate it to my ex-mother in law, Yolanda. We are very close. She's a breast cancer survivor. She spent the Christmas Holidays with me and my children 2015. She's beautiful at, 54. She's always questioning my writings. So Today, I write this for her. Up to this day, she is single and living her life to the fullest. She once told me a story about a man she was in love with. He left and never looked back. Yolanda, on the other hand, said, it was harder to lose a breast. To this day, the only one she misses is the one breast that got away. I shared this poem, Via text message. She's in love with the poem. Already. :) I too hope you, enjoy the poem. As she told me. The Struggle is real. LOVE LINDA
-Escape of the mountain-
Do you care about my breast?
The new curve - countryside corset
The beauty of every summer dress
Laying down, wearing out gravity
Embracing the same feeling;
Your hands indulged in
Passion and devotion
around perfumed scenery
The perfect pair
Today we will pray,
Counting every second on the clock
No longer the womanly figure before'
I will possess a new battle,
around the virtues of my palace.
Will you still be there,
when the hump and lump are gone?
Will I still be the queen of your heart?
Patiently I shall wait and see
in hopes to gain the time breast cancer stole
Leaving behind torn tissue, with a daily reminder of;
The one that got away.
