Mama's Poem

 

Begins with the Letter 'C'

What is this word? What does this mean?
This word is nasty and I no longer feel clean.

All thru my life, I have heard this word,
But it won't happen to me, that's too absurd.

I find a lump and wonder what it could be.
Is it that thing that begins with the Letter 'C'?
It can't be that, I am only 32, but the Dr. confirms my worst fear is true.

They try different things and do a lot of tests,
but then I am told, I will still lose my breasts.
After the mammogram, biopsies and MRI,
I begin to wonder, Am I going to die?

When people find out, and ask me how I feel?
I say I am fine, because it don't yet seem real.
Then suddenly, reality slaps me in the face,
and I want to run to some other place.

I feel like this thing that begins with the Letter 'C',
is ripping my dreams right out of me. but, I have to fight for my 10 year old Angel at home, I can not die and leave her all alone.

So, to this thing that begins with the Letter 'C',
I be damned if you'll get the best of me.
