I Am A 11-Year-Old Quadriplegic And These Are Poems About The Hardship Of Being Me

ADVERTISEMENT

In 2017 I was in a car with my sister, mother and step dad. We were driving along the highway when a truck came along the other side of the side of the road. Because it was raining and the truck was going quite fast they slammed into our car tipping it upside down. I broke my back while luckily my sister, mother and step dad survived with minor injuries. I was rushed to hospital and put in a induced coma for 3 weeks. I became a quadriplegic.

During the 7 months that I was in hospital and then 3 months of in and out check ups and rehab one of the nurses helped me to write poems. I am not prepared to release them all yet but here are a few. I will release more when I am prepared to do so.

In the hospital…

Thank you

The bullies

Hi there! My names Matilda, but everyone calls me Tilly. I love everything Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and the Hunger Games. I also love science, especially chemistry and biology. I'm a little loony and weird. But that's OK because being weird just means you're not afraid to be yourself. See you later! Tilly.😀

Being you means in one day being braver and more courageous than any bullies will be in their entire lives. I will look forward to seeing more of your poems, when you're ready.
