Write a poem on ways to reduce spinal cord injuries ( SCI )
Short Poem

Answer 1

Answer:

spinal chords

have you ever felt  lost

in a deadly abyss of  thought?

it's emotionally  exhaustive

and socially  caustic

to be caught  thinking  thoughts ,

instead of  singing  songs.

with those  disturbing thoughts

come a lot of  perturbing feelings

and if you've ever  been unable

to explain or  detain

one of those feelings

just know that  you are not  alone.

not all of us can  assign a name  to an emotion

however benign  not all of us are so  well acquainted

with our own minds  that we can picture

but i'm daring you  the next time you

cannot justify ,cannot simplify  or expedite

a feeling down  to a name  just don't  even  try.

place your finger  over that emotion

the way you would barre  your guitar strings

heart strings on  the second fret

gently ,gently  run your other

hand down over  the sound hole

located somewhere  between your

stomach and  sorely neglected

central nervous system

and then pull  it back, play the

melody of your  most knotted  spinal chord

not too fast ,not too loud

or if you find  it easier to see

the white notes laid out

unroll the shiny top

over your backbone  and press down

softly ,softly

bending your fingers up  and down each

key of vertebrate  in an ascending or

descending scale  the length of which

depends upon  how tall you are.

slowly ,slowly  forget  about  names ,faces

sleepless nights  or how your insecurity

is still on par with  you at fourteen

when you first tried  to exploit it into music

but now you've found it best

just to tuck it behind your ears.

and learn  the cadence of

that feeling  explore each

note and tone  and play with

 a song  surrounded by  other sounds.

you may never  play it again  you may play it

every day  for the rest of  your life

but all that is  irrelevant

in light of this  moment

a few seconds of  stilted peace and quiet.

listen to your  feelings

until your fingers  bleed

out the suppressed  emotions

society expects you  to ignore

play them like  you were in  an orchestra

and this was the  moment  of your solo

but don't  name  anything

unless you're  calling it

and never  find yourself

or your  heart strings  afraid

or even the darkest of  spinal chords

for i know that  everyone has cried alone
