A Collection of Poetry and Prose
Growing a Backbone is a collection of poetry and prose by scientist and patient advocate, Silver Alkhafaji, Ph.D. In these pages, the search for healing is laid bare-a non-linear path through exhaustion, anger, and the unexpected moments of light.
In its two sections, PAIN and LIFE&LOVE, Silver gives voice to the battles fought in silence: the language of the spoon theory, the exhaustion of seeking validation, and the daily courage required to simply show up and shine despite it all.
This book is a roadmap of resilience, a manual for self-refuge, and a necessary reminder that suffering, when held and understood, can be transformed. In verse that is at once tender and incisive, Silver transforms the weight of life's trials and tribulations into something luminous, weaving pain and resilience into a tapestry of unexpected beauty.
