A body like a rollercoaster poem-(old piece)

   A body likes a roller coaster
Lots of twists and turns.

A winding track,
Many different options to explore.

Several different twists of the curves,
Twisting one way,
Going up a giant incline,
Slowly climbing up, up, up, to the very top.

It can be quite a tiring experience; that long trek
Then the scary part, the drop!

You drop down,
Your life in chaos and feel like the world on your shoulders,
Sending you into deep down depression and anxiety.

Meanwhile, the world is still spinning,
Going faster and faster,
Gaining speed as you "drop down the tracks" of life,
With you struggling to keep up.

Another twist in the tracks,
Then a loop upside down,
You start screaming,
Feeling like you are going to die,
Your life flashes before your eyes.

               With lots of ups and downs,
bumps, stumbles, and falls,”
“Bruises and scars,”
Not just physically,
The “rider” (patient) can also be traumatically scarred too.

Turning life upside down,
Like loops on a roller coaster,
Making the victim,
The patient, plagued with this disorder,
The limiting disability,
Scoliosis.

 Screaming and crying,
Although it seems as if no sound wants to come out,
Tired and emotionally drained,
“Let me off now,
Before I die.”

The disabled battle cry!
