“scer- what now?” says another curious passerby yet again.
deep down inside, i resent the attention i gain.
for most peers of mine don't often know the pain.
“it’s scoliosis.” i retorted,
but in reply, they only snorted.
i cant believe they had the nerve,
to jeer at someone because of a mere curve.
it all happened that one faithful day,
after a p.e. lesson when we went into the water to play.
as everyone returned to change, i was left behind to stray.
“i hope nobody notices me”, i thought as i would pray.
to put it simply; it hadn't gone unnoticed,
i had begged for them to to tell, but that had not sufficed.
the cat was let out, it all felt like a heist.
my secret was robbed, when it supposedly ceased to exist.
i was ten back then, had no clue how to handle it.
life was tough, but i’m glad i never quit.
though my torso now has a slit,
i’m safe to say that i'm over with their ********
