Poetic therapy

Last Updated on 28th April 2020 by Caroline Haye

Feeling the creative urge, as I sometimes do, I have written the following freestyle poem in the hope that it may be as therapeutic to read as it was to write.  It might baffle some readers but I think that anyone who has had widespread vitiligo will recognise the feelings of consternation, powerlessness and loss of identity that accompany the progression of this condition.  But I hope that the relief and delight I have tried to convey at the return of my pigment will give others hope that this is not necessarily a one-way journey 🙂

VITILIGO: A Play(room) in 3 Acts [Author’s note: This poem has been moved from this page to the My Vitiligo Poetry page.]

Thanks for your comment - I look forward to reading and publishing it!
