October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is my contribution to the fight against this dreaded disease.

Searching for a Cure 

Sitting 

here naked. 

Waiting 

for my turn to come. 

Wanting 

to be lost in a field of flowers. 

Feeling 

the sunlight on my skin. 

Anything 

to have this undone. 

~ 

They're going to 

press it down, 

squeeze it flat, 

see inside. 

They'll tell me 

what's wrong, 

and give me 

a death warrant. 

~ 

Ahead is a life 

of pain, 

misery, 

abandonment. 

No one will 

want me like this, 

love me during this, 

see me through this. 

~ 

Think pink! 

Think cure! 

Someone take the time 

to save me from this disease.
