My Pink

My Feelings

By Demetra Mete DavisPublished 5 years ago 1 min read
My Breast Cancer journey began at 35. 2 more diagnoses later and I'll be 60 in June!

The color Pink represents femininity.

A pink silky dress blowing in the wind

or a pretty ribbon of satin bouncing in a

little girl’s hair as she happily skips through a meadow.

My pink represents striving to be a woman without woman parts

and working hard to accept - and appreciate

what’s left of my body.

The color Pink represents beauty.

Pretty pink roses and carnations

filling the room with the essence of sweet.

My pink represents bringing out the inner beauty of another fighter

and “more” than a survivor, who has just entered their cancer journey.

The color Pink represents life! Bright pink rosy cheeks thriving

and fulfilling hopes and dreams. Pink palms and youthful fingers

painting a sunset in the springtime.

My pink represents the loss of a mother and countless friends,

sad days and lonely nights. Hoping to be normal again.

The color Pink represents romance, passion, and innocence.

Pink captures the beat of a drum and embraces the beat of a heart!

My pink represents strength, purpose, positivity in the midst of negative results,

defying the odds, and reaping the benefits of growing old gracefully!

My Pink represents hope!
