Melissa Etheridge
I'm one of those people that will say, 'My cancer was a gift.'
Melissa Etheridge

Melissa Etheridge
Everybody's got a hunger no matter where they are. Everybody clings to their own fear. Everybody hides some scar - Precious pain. Empty and cold but it keeps me alive. I gave it my soul so that I could survive - keeping me safe in these chains.
Melissa Etheridge
