Cancer has changed my life forever <br />cutting parts of my body away. <br />Where once I would bind, those embarassements of mine <br />as a young girl noticing her development that day. <br /> <br />I would try to hide, what had fought to poke outside <br />for all prying eyes to see. <br />Now that they're gone, I try to go on <br />scars now where those body parts use to be.<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-d-love-to-be-whole-again/
