It left me fragile
vulnerable
there is a cost to being strong
I found it hard to reach out
ask for support
I am aware, some support
is toxic
it's hard to know what or who
won't be 'helpful'
even when they don't mean it
I fond my heart
now it feels, awakened
it's looking for a mate
but not while this was going on
not until the need was unleashed
my desirability
became a question
rebalancing that
become
my center
I hate worrying my friends and family
I preferred keeping this to myself
but the affect of that was
painful for them
What I learnt from a breast cancer scare;
I'm not willing to give up on my dreams
it brought out the warrior in me
the fighter
What I learnt from a breast cancer scare;
I am open to love now
I am a warrior for my dreams
It is the gift
I am cancer free
