Breast Elegy: Breaking Up Will be Easy to Do - Surviving vs. Thriving

Breast Elegy: Breaking Up is Easy to Do - My true Breast Cancer Journey set to rhyme. 

 

It’s been 20 years since we started this dance

And now I decided you are not worth the chance

 

This relationship has been deteriorating for a few years now

I have decided to end it with a quiet kapow!

 

It wasn’t a difficult decision for me

Some won’t understand or be able to see

 

This journey started with lots of anxiety 

That soon dissipated with time and propriety

 

Advances in medicine are quite subjective

Treatments and results depend on perspective

 

And so this relationship has taken its turn

It’s some peace this time, for which I  yearn

 

That’s not to say that I’ll never miss you

Right now you’re not much more than tissue

 

Adios, dear boobs, it’s time for heavenly ascension

I need no more negative apprehension

 

Although you’ve made it hard for me to forget about you

I plan to spend more life without you than with you.
