Lightswitch
Numbness, where's my face
metal, is that the taste
head hurting
stomach churning
Darkness, where have I gone
I hear voices that I can't see
I want to scream, but cannot speak
Who turned the lightswitch off
Drifting deeper into the abyss
I try to picture those I will miss
but it is too dark to see
What's this happening to me
Lightswitch turns on
terrible fear at what I see
I don't seem to know anyone
yet they all know me
Freezing cold and all confused
way too tired to even move
I'll just lay here for now and wait
for the lightswitch to go off again
(my description of my seizures)
