Beware of the Unexpected

A poem making women aware of Breast Cancer. Support the Breast Cancer movement and help support those with Breast Cancer.

A woman's curves

makes her feel like she has power

until the unexpected occurs

and the number one killing disease attacks her.

 

The late night tears

everyday living in fear

Emotional pain

trying to exert strength

but no one can understand her struggle.

 

The burden of this hard working woman, mother, or wife

feeling like the world is caving down on her shoulders

because everyday she hopes there is a cure

that can save her life.

 

At times she feels helpless

and no one can grasp the conditions she faces

or understand the changes.

 

The prayers, hope, and faith

is what gets her through each day

because alone there is no way she can make it through.

 

The changes in appearance, the scars, and hair lost

is what others see

but she is thankful to see another day

and happy she has the ability to breathe.

 

Although at times she feels alone

staying up late

because tears fall down her face.

 

Trying to hold on

yet, she does not know how she can do it alone

but every step of the way

she has a support system to help her along

everyday helping her fight

this disease trying to take away her life.

 

Breast Cancer

the plague that is dominationg the world

the plague that is taking women out one by one

 

Breast Cancer

the plague that does not discriminate by age or color

the plague that a vast percentage of women are unaware of

 

Breast Cancer

a disease that has the jurisdiction to take lives

a disease that can make a female feel less than a woman inside

 

Breast Cancer

a disease every woman should inquire and have knowledge about

a disease every woman should stand together for and fight

 

Breast Cancer

a disease no woman should take for granite

no matter her shape, size, or the structure of her thighs

because Breast Cancer is a monster

that can attack anyone of us at any given time

 

Breast Cancer

is a topic no woman wants to discuss

but is a discussion that every woman should speak out about

because being aware can save a life

so women open up your mouth

and lets unite

and fight this disease called Breast Cancer

together lets embrace our vivacious curves

and kick Breast Cancer to the curve.
