Simple Wish

Simple Wish

So I'm here to talk to you about my negatives with other things and such,
Well I'm sure you'll get a lengthily poem since I have so much.

A couple years ago something happened to me,
It wasn't something positive you will surely see.

I was diagnosed with scoliosis; a curvature in the spine,
It changed the way I lived life, and now its not even mine.

It all started when I received my brace in the year of 2003,
Thinking Id draw attention to myself, I was as happy as could be.

But oh, how very wrong I was on that day,
I had no idea that after that, how my thoughts on life would lay.

They all had so many questions the day I brought my brace to school,
They all thought it was sick, funny, and some thought it quite cool.

After a couple days it all went down hill,
And my thoughts on life, turned to a dream at will.

Questions became persistent, annoying none the less,
They'd ask me what was wrong, Id tell them just to guess.

Never before did I ever foresee,
That this awful thing would internally kill me.

My self-esteem dropped so low, and I was told I was always mad,
And I was, only because, Id remember the life I once had.

Then afterwords I figured out the hard way,
Attention is not something to seek.

For it will make your balance sway,
And you'll fall off even at your highest peak.

Its been about two years since I got that awful thing,
I hate it with a passion, since depression is all it can bring.

And now Ive come to realize theres not way out,
The only way to handle it; is to sit there and pout.

I try to make the best of it, the little freedom I posses,

I try to use it, but I get carried away, and end up in a mess.

So now Ill have to wait, another long year if so,
Just to wait to have a life, for this awful thing to go.

But now all I can do is thrive on a dream that shouldn't have to exist;
Just to be a normal person, like everyone else,
Is my simple wish.
