X-Men

Bad news makes us or breaks us...its all about perspective.

The black and white letter

Contained big, bold words

Written by a foreign tongue

Plagued by the absence of emotion.

 

Cellular mutation

Discovered under the slides;

Scientific facts couldn’t stem the shock

Radiating from each callous syllable.

 

Knowing is not always a blessing

These mutations incited fear

“Pre-cancerous” is not a word that offers hope

It only slams the door on a guinea pigs cage.

 

The bright and beautiful light

That serves as beacon

As I tread through…

 

X-Men have nothing on me.

I am sending you fierce vibes, Kristin! Be brave, girl. Those mutant cells can suck it! Angi~

ONe needs to be very brave to be diagnosed as being in a pre cancerous stage and then write about it.And this you have done through this poem. '"cellular mutation.......radiating from each callous syllable."and ''knowing is not always......a word that offers hope."shows how people dread this disease.Hats off to you,Kristin.THis is a poem worth saving.

Great attitude towards something that is becoming all too common. Take charge of your life always do with it what you will, whether you have one day, one month, one year or a lifetime. Keep up the fight and continue to inspire others as well.

I loved it simply amazing wonderful poem - does it resembles XMEN Series any where?
If yes then I loved it ;)

Cheers!

[Kristin Lee]

Thanks Singh. It's a very subtle pun. Cancer and precancerous cells are genetic mutations. X-men were mutants who had genetic mutations ;)

[Vikrantsingh]

Yes ;) and thank for you information :) Really great poem :)

This is a brave and well-written piece. Those mutations do not have to win; but you are right that sometimes ignorance is indeed bliss. Strong positive thoughts headed in your direction, Kristin...
