"I Am A Survivor"

    Imagine speaking these words and realizing you are
         talking about yourself.
    You may have never pictured yourself as a survivor before,
         But being able to speak these words will empower you
    Whether you speak them loudly,
         Speak them softly,
    Or even in another language,
         You will speak them for every other woman battling
                                   breast cancer.

    Your voice will carry her through the shadows,
         Pull her out of the darkness,
    Bring her into the light,
         To dance once again.
    She will have scars, no doubt,
         Both within her soul and upon her flesh.
    But with time, love, and patience,
         They will become medals for the battle that she fought,
                                  And won.

    Survivor - What does this word mean?
         According to the dictionary,
    A survivor is one who has lived or persisted through an ordeal.
         But ask someone who has survived breast cancer,
    Someone who has beaten the odds, be it
                                 Your mother,
                                 Your sister,
                                 Your aunt,
                                 Your grandmother,
                                 Your wife,
                                 Your daughter,
                                 Your friend,
                                 Or you.
    And they will tell you that they have not only lived through it,
                                 But triumphed.
