Please don't let me hit my head,
Just lay me down upon my bed.

Don't worry, I will soon be all right,
This battle is just an ongoing fight.

There are days that the seizures are at bay,
No medication so far, can take them away.

I am glad I didn't have a crystal ball,
To predict how much I would suddenly fall.

I am past waiting for the magic drug,
It is a way of life that I handle with a shrug.

I wish my children didn't have such a load,
But we realize this path was chosen as our road.

Educating others is where I find the most peace,
Hoping to inform others so their ignorance will cease.

I have cluster seizures, so injections are a part of life,
Always reminding myself that others live with more strife.

Many treat me differently because they don't understand,
I try hard to overlook them and still reach out my hand.

When the seizures are numerous and I feel nothing but fright,
I remind myself that this is my battle and refuse to give up the fight.
