shooting from within
firm inflammation
piercing my skin.
Weighty and heavy
from night ‘til day
please Lord oh please
just melt it away.
Crying and screaming,
this warrior’s plea
what did I do wrong
for this to happen to me?
Wishing on stars
reaching for an answer
please don’t let this lump
be from Breast Cancer.
Tired and weary
a mother and wife
this wasn’t the way
I pictured my life.
Praying like so many
trying to endure
please Lord oh please
just give us the cure.
