All of a Sudden
A day like any other is taking place
With me hanging out with friends;
Just seeing them puts a smile on a face,
And it makes me glad to meet them again.
My day is moving forward with time
And I'm entertained by my friends conversation;
But I remember I have a deadly obstacle to climb,
One that will have my body paralyzed and render my recollection.
I sit down at my desk and prepare my stuff
As the teacher is giving her lecture to the class;
All of a sudden my body hits the floors so rough,
My brain takes every memory of mine first till last.
As I feel my muscles tense up and jolt violently
It is my head that hits the floor incredibly hard;
Causing more of whats happening constantly,
And pretty soon this seizure will be my last card.
I regain my consciousness slowly but surley
With the help of a girl who sits next to me;
Supporting me up until I am able to stand firmly,
But also reminding everyone of the space I need.
Now I am up and somewhat responsive
Though I am nauseous and dizzy from the incident;
This is something I was born with and is unwanted,
So I have to accept the fact that the seizures aren't an accident.
