Scoliosis Poem – World Poetry Day

This weekend, it is World Poetry Day! So, I thought I’d get my creative juices flowing and write a little scoliosis poem.

I call it “My curved spine.”

Now, I’m not much of a poet but I just wrote how I felt, which was therapeutic. The poem represents my love/hate relationship with my scoliosis and body. Over the years, my spine has caused me much pain, but it’s made me who I am and I’m proud of the person I’ve become.

My Scoliosis Poem: My curved spine

My curved spine, 

you’re always there;

My curved spine, 

you cause me pain;

My curved spine, 

Why me?

My curved spine, 

you make me different;

My curved spine, 

you make me worry;

My curved spine, 

I’ve hated you; 

My curved spine, 

I’ve hated me;

But in the darkness,

my curved spine;

You’ve made me determined; 

You’ve made me strong; 

You amaze me

with the things you can achieve. 

My curved spine, don’t you see? 

You’ve made me who I am today. 

Despite the pain, my curved spine, I love you. 

You are beautiful 

and I wouldn’t have you any other way.
