It's there
It wasn't there before
I know...I always check
Every month
And now it's there
It isn't my imagination
I saw my doctor
She felt it too
And so it's there
I've waited two long weeks
To see the surgeon
Because it's there
And it wasn't there before
I always thought it would be large
I always thought it would be painful
But it's not
It's just there
On my left breast
This small grain of rice
And it wasn't there before
I'll see the surgeon in an hour
Please G-d, please help me
Let him do something today
Perhaps a needle biopsy
I...who am afraid of needles
Praying he won't say
"Let's do a lumpectomy"
Because it's there
And it wasn't there before
