I am alive. I am a survivor. I am a walker. I am crew. I am old. I am young. I am a woman. I am a man. I am the end of breast cancer. And I am alive. I am the voice of audacity in the face of apathy. I am the spirit of bravery in a world of caution. I am a commitment to action in the face of neutrality. And I am alive. I am tired of comfort when so many suffer. I am tired of half measures when so many are taken whole before their time. I am tired of waiting for others to act. I am tired of being patient. I am the author of my life. I am the author of tomorrow. I am the future and I am alive. I am not asleep. I am not deceased. I am not defeated. I am not retreating. This morning with all my brothers and sisters. With all our dedication. In all of our might. I will not be beaten. To all those who suffer. To all those in pain. I say that I am here. I am walking. I am for you. I am with you. And I - I am alive.
