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.

I'm glad you enjoy the poem. (I'm not epileptic by the way) I have a few friends of mine who are though. But I'm glad you enjoyed.
