The Pink Rise

She traced her scar
She was devastated
Why me? She stated

Oh strong lady 
Don't lose hope
With all you should cope
Your present condition 
does not define your situation

Like Superheroes wear their cape and scars with the same pride
And so shall you wonder woman! 
You are the woman with a scar aside 
Due to a battle fought and won.

Prejudices- don't presume
By stigma -don't be consumed
A fighting spirit - you should assume

Oh lady in pink
You won't sink
Once a survivor
Now a Pink Warrior!
