Beautiful

SCARS COULD NOT MUTILATE MY BODY,

LOSS COULD NOT DIMINISH MY JOY,

FEAR COULD NOT PREVENT ME FROM BEING IN LOVE.

I AM BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE MORPHINE COULD NOT ERASE MY GOOD MEMORIES,

PAIN COULD NOT HAMPER MY ACTIVITIES,

TOMOXIFEN COULD NOT DRY UP MY JUICES

AND A 50/50 CHANCE FOR SURVIVAL COULD NOT PREOCCUPY MY MIND.

I AM BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE I REMEMBER

THAT THE TIME OF DEATH IS UNCERTAIN

AND IN THAT KNOWLEDGE THE DUALITY OF HOPE AND FEAR CEASES TO EXIST.
