Cuando la oscuridad toca la puerta.

Acabo de escuchar una cancion que me dejo los pelos de punta. Fueron 4 minutos en silencio, pensando y tratando de comprender lo que significa para una mujer el cancer del ceno. Pensando en la posibilidad de que le ocurra a mi madre, a mi hermana, mi abuelita, a mis mejores amigas… en fin, todas corren el mismo riesgo. Me fuy en el viaje pensando, ¿y si la oscuridad les toca la puerta?  Lleve el pensamiento mas alla, y pensaba por todos los que sufren de diferentes tipos de cancer, en la caminata de Raymond, en una amiga que tengo que paso por el proceso de enfrentar el cancer.

La vida pareciera estar sobre una balanza, que una pequeña pluma que cayese inesperadamente en uno de los platos crearia un desbalance que nos lleve a un punto al que no esperabamos llegar.

en fin… a todas las que esten leyendo estas letras, HAGANSE LA PRUEBA (MAMOGRAFIA), POR USTEDES Y POR SUS SERES QUERIDOS, y ojala consigamos la cura para este mal PRONTO.  Aqui les dejo la lirica de la cancion que estuve escuchando. Se llama I run for life de Melissa Etheridge

(Melissa Etheridge)

It’s been years since they told her about it
The darkness her body possessed
And the scars are still there in the mirror
Everyday that she gets herself dressed
Though the pain is miles and miles behind her
And the fear is now a docile beast
If you ask her why she is still running
She’ll tell you it makes her complete

[Chorus:]
I run for hope
I run to feel
I run for the truth
For all that is real
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
I run for you and me, my friend
I run for life

It’s a blur since they told me about it
How the darkness had taken its toll
And they cut into my skin and they cut into my body
But they will never get a piece of my soul
And now I’m still learning the lesson
To awake when I hear the call
And if you ask me why I am still running
I’ll tell you I run for us all

[Chorus:]
I run for hope
I run to feel
I run for the truth
For all that is real
I run for your mother your sister your wife
I run for you and me my friend
I run for life

And someday if they tell you about it
If the darkness knocks on your door
Remember her remember me
We will be running as we have before
Running for answers
Running for more

I run for hope
I run to feel
I run for the truth
For all that is real
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
I run for you and me my friend
I run for hope
I run to feel
I run for the truth
For all that is real
I run for your mother your sister, your daughter, your wife
For you and me my friend
I run for life
Ohohohoh

I run for your mother your sister your wife
I run for you and me my friend
I run for life
