Slipping me away from you
"Oh it doesn't matter how you hide
Find you if we're wanting to
So slide back down and close your eyes
Sleep a while
You must be tired... "

Malignant Neoplasm

I desperately want my Livestrong band back since it snapped. I feel completely naked without it. This little yellow rubber band represents so many people; my grandfather, my great aunt, my great uncle, his sister, anyone who battled or is battling the disease. It's not just a bracelet. It's a symbol. Memories of people hang on my wrist. I keep them close. It's my nonchalant way of making a statement I guess. From an outside perspective, it's a bracelet in support of a foundation. From an inside perspective, it's that and so much more.
