I AM a Warrior

I am a daughter

My mother is my light

I am a friend

Always there to help wipe your tears

I am a student

Accepting the wisdom I can gain

I am a person

Filled with flaws and mistakes

I am not my disease

There is much more to me than my ailment

I am not my chemotherapy

I’m someone who keeps going after life knocks them down

I am not my mountain of daily meds,

I swallow the bitter pill life handed me

I am strong
Trials come my way that most people would cower before

I am a fighter

Life has not progressed as planned, but I keep going

I am what I always wanted to be when I was a little girl, brave.
