Defining
Cancer may redefine your life
or cause you to do so
but it does not define you
It is not you, by definition
in fact it is the anti-you
It may invade, destroy, usurp
your physical self
may distort, cloud, hijack
your mind
may jaundice and weaken
your emotional state
but it does not touch your spirit
cannot affect your soul
