Roll Back Time

I close my eyes and now I can see,
my past floating in front of me,
beckoning me to come in,
my life will start again,
before my soul dies,
I can revise,
in my prime,
roll back 
time…

I have changed the course of my cancer,
trip to doctor was the answer,
it was not there, it was gone,
and now I can move on,
surgery not needed,
lump retreated,
know not how,
pain gone
now…

Never will I postpone an exam,
what I am doing or where I am,
with my OB/GYN,
never commit that sin,
will not hesitate,
to seal my fate,
if it means,
yearly
screens...
