Brave Enough 

Brave Enough 

October 31, 2025

By: Anessa Oscar, Health information Management, OBH Kingsbrook

I am… brave enough.

To face the mirror…

To trace each scar and call it – Survival.

I am brave enough…

To walk in faith, when fear tries to whisper that I cannot.

To lift my chin , when the weight of the world presses on my shoulders – and still say I’m here.

 

I am brave enough to dance in pink, to cry when I must, and to laugh even louder because life… still sings in me.

I am brave enough.

To believe that healing lives not only in medicine – but in hope, in prayer,

In every hand that holds another and says … “ You’re not alone’

 

I am brave enough

To remember those we’ve lost and carry their light like lanterns in our hearts.

Their courage lives…

In every breath we take,

Every fight we finish,

Every victory we claim.

 

I am brave enough.

To stand together in pink,

To turn awareness into action,

And heartbreak into harmony.

For we are not defined by what we battle, nut by how we rise.

 

So today and everyday we wear our ribbons proudly

Symbols not of sickness, but of strength.

Not of struggle – but of power.

Because I am / We Are … BRAVE ENOUGH
