Living With Epilepsy

Waking in the morning, wondering if today’s the day
Menial tasks get harder, longing for it not to be today
Medicines galore, just to make it not now, not ever
They don’t always work, sometimes it happens
It can be when you’re least expecting it
Eating, drinking, sleeping, playing, it doesn’t matter what
One moment your fine, then it happens
You’re on the floor, don’t know what’s going on around you
You hear people shouting, yelling, screaming
Get an ambulance, move her, leave her where she is
The inevitable has happened, today is the day
Lying on the floor jerking, half conscious, what’s happening?
Today it happened, a month since the last time
Epilepsy has returned to me, I’m having a seizure
