I am my own hero
I cried when I saw ground zero
on TV
It changed me
My cancer treatments didn’t seem so
Important with a capitol I
I was alive
I was 35
I wanted to help others
Find their own feathers
And fly
So I can see I am an eagle
And so are you
I am free
And so are you
My mind has changed
My heart has opened
My cancer is not my own and neither is yours
As I help myself, I help the world
visa versa
I am not alone
I will not moan
I am alive
I am 40
I am on your side
And my side
I am my own hero
