I’LL STAND TALL

My determination was such that when things were the toughest, when the days were their darkest, I got belligerent. That when I wrote confrontational poetry. Those were the times I would literally have conversations, arguments and reaffirmations of my position in this situation with DeMon Lu-ci-fer Satani(Breast Cancer). Yes, that is its name in its entirety. Please note: I have cleaned up my act here for obvious reasons.


Poem Artwork

Kiss my butt Cancer!

On the right side

And on the left

Kiss my butt Cancer!

For invading my right breast

You thought you had me Cancer

My back was against the wall

You tried to sink your hooks in me

You tried to make me crawl

But I refuse to stoop to you

You can’t conquer me at all

You can never break my spirit

I’ll continue to stand tall

The very essence of my being

You tried your hardest to disturb

With every fiber of my being

I kick your dumb butt to the curb

Yes mam you keep kicking Cancer's you know what! I love your attitude and I think you demonstrate the few people that understand that bad things will happen to you but you don't have to let those things interrupt your life. We all have a choice to live and I think you clear are a woman who fights by faith. I know you'll when the final round and hope get well soon. Until then keep knocking em out like Muhammed Ali Sista!

My feeling is this: "With God as my partner, who can stand against me?"

When I'm collecting evidence of heroics, I'll mark you "Exhibit A."

Go on Sistah Girl. Just found out there is strong indication that an aunt (elderly) I'm close to may have colon cancer. It runs on my dad's side of the family frequently. It may be too advanced to do anything about--she's suffered both in health and illness (not so great relationship). But God is good, everything occurs for a reason even if we don't understand it. So glad I was draw to this title this evening, just answered the summons in my mind to come to your page. (Sorry I lost your email, I know you have mine. Looking forward to hearing you and chatting again during the He Said She Said show on PowerTalkFM.com.

blessin's Sis. Pamela,
