The Other Side

You never fully understand something until it happens to you/No matter once or fifty times/It stays on your mind/You think that it's buried deep/But in actuality it's engraved deep down inside/Some gloat about it/Others cover it with pride/Me myself/I hold my head up/Look above/And to God I confide/I aint gonna lie though/Sometimes I wanna hide/I just gotta find that inner strength and pull that thing from inside/And here lies the other side/The side that is a little different from the world/The side where it can happen to any boy or girl/The side most people don't get to see/Where you can't control the outcome/You just have to wait to be free/It feels like a dream/Or worse yet a nightmare/Where you're living your life but are in constant fear/We all have our downfalls and need to work on different features/We all have things that scare us tremendously/Me personally it is seizures

I've lost some things in my life because of my seizure problem. It's hard to cope with but God got me and keeps getting me through. How do y'all cope with things?
