cancer survivor

Feeling down and under "renee was my name and the doctors told me I had breast cancer"
Hearing that killed me a little inside
But I didn't cry because I knew I had to be strong for my mom
For me at the age of sixteen it was weird to get cancer "I just wanted to get out of this hospital bed and go to the beach
Wanting to feel the sand and sea water in between my toes was just a dream
"mom I'm losing my hair"
Knowing that her imagination helped her from crying "she told me it will grow back"
I have breast cancer and in a matter of two years I was in and out surgeries
And taking different medications every other day
"I want to feel my feet in the sand"
I had to be strong for my mother while she spent every waking moment crying over me
"mom don't cry, I'm fine"
At the age of eighteen, my doctors walked into my room "we have news for you Renee"
Mind you I was half a sleep
I sat up and they said I didn't have any cancer left in my body "that's when I cried"
I cried because I felt free and I was to live the life I wanted to live
"I was diagnosed as the cancer survivor"
With my heart beating fast and tears coming down face
"for the first time in my life I was happy to be alive"
"I am a cancer survivor"
