Im Screwed


I’m screwed in the head Trust me its not a dread It’s better than having my life in a bed I would never choose to have that instead I was born with a brain tumor Some thought it was just a rumor I suffered seizures I had to go through so many procedures So many MRI’s, all I needed was believers I was sent to Yale The air was stale At seven I didn’t weigh much on the Scale It’s because I knew I was going under I didn’t want to steal the surgeons thunder He was a Yale Surgeon, how old he was I wonder Eight hours of surgery, Tumor there was no more I have screws and scars on my head, but without that Id be a bore My surgery I will never abhor My life was saved Though I behaved As if I was so brave I see myself as smart I view it as an art I knew at seven it was just a start To my life as being a big part

This poem is about me as a child and what I had to go through
