I'm A Survivor

I’m A Survivor

I went to the doctor today for a routine checkup.

All smiles and no worries. Just a little small talk

And needle stick and I’ll be done.

I went to the doctor today and they found a lump.

They found a lump in my breast and my sunny sky’s

Turned to gray.

The doctor told me not to worry, it’s probably nothing

But just to be sure let them check the lump out. After a

Small procedure and months of waiting my worst feelings

Have come true. They found a lump and it was cancer.

My world as I knew was turned upside down, but at this

Moment I can’t give up..

I’m a survivor I survive.

I wake up every morning a little more tired. My system

Started getting a little weaker, but I push on. Not just for me

But for my family. I’m a survivor. I survive.

No matter what my days may bring me, no matter how many

Medication are giving to me. I have a purpose.

I’m a survivor, I survive.

Even if I’m dying on the inside, I still smile wide because it’s

More to this than meets the eye. Every night I say my prayer

Before I sleep and prayer to the Lord that I’m the one he keeps

Not just for me, but for my family because..

I’m a survivor, I survive

I went to the doctor today and after all the procedures

I’ve endured, all the blood that was taken, all the tears

That were shed. All the beeping of the monitors that kept

Me up at night. All the smiles, all the frowns.

The doctors tells me that it’s over and calls me a survivor

I survived.
