Dark shadows haunt your mind

There are no answers left to find

The truth you live with now

To cope you must find how

Am I less the woman I was before

Or am I something more

It may feel like overwhelming closing

But open up the door

Look in the eyes of loved ones

The one's who truly care

The ones that look you in the face

Not at what was once there

They love you because of your deeds

To them you haven't changed

Their love for you won't dwindle

Because of what life for you arranged

So much respect is to come your way

As you triumph over pain

You will be above the pedestals

That for you they have already lain

Try to find the pride in you

As you're loved ones see and think

And when like many others you feel need to share

Just put on the trainers and walk or run in pink.
