In Honor of National Cancer Survivors Day - June 1, 2014

This is not a satire post. I am taking liberties as the owner of this blog to showcase a poem I wrote in honor of National Cancer Survivor Day. I hope it helps those who read it realize just how strong they, or whomever they know, who have survived the ravages of cancer.

I am a survivor

I am
I am alive
I am alive today
I am alive today because
I am alive today because I
I am alive today because I refuse
I am alive today because I refuse to
I am alive today because I refuse to allow
I am alive today because I refuse to allow cancer
I am alive today because I refuse to allow cancer to
I am alive today because I refuse to allow cancer to defeat
I am alive today because I refuse to allow cancer to defeat me
I am alive today because I refused to allow cancer to defeat me.
I am alive today because I refuse to allow cancer to defeat me
I am alive today because I refuse to allow cancer to defeat
I am alive today because I refuse to allow cancer to
I am alive today because I refuse to allow cancer
I am alive today because I refuse to allow
I am alive today because I refuse to
I am alive today because I refuse
I am alive today because I
I am alive today because
I am alive today
I am alive
I am.
