Best Epilepsy Poems

Sudden and strangely strong
many shocks flood my body
causing muscles to stiffen
in protest.
Does it hurt?
Sometimes.
My mind drowns itself in
electricity without prior warning
causing a myriad of odd seizures. 
Each one different from the 
last; no seizure is the same.
My memory is not impaired,
I remember every one and...

Written for my heart, my son, Kyle
Wash me gentle in the river –
	Ease me on down with care.
I’m an emotional giver –
	It’s my song in the air.
Dry me smooth upon shore’s sliver -
	Warm away my despair.

Constant tears are in my eyes,
but I’ll deny that I...

Let the bed murmur not;
The jealous are behind the door,
To eardrop the noise from the springs.

Let the key seal its hole;  
Green eye monsters are behind the door,
To have a glimpse of the angels within .

Let the jealous seek cure;
Ears here,eyes there; peace nowhere;

I have a disability I’ve had my whole life long.
My memory disappears whenever things go wrong,
My first memory was wondering where and who on earth was I.
And who were all the people that I did espy, 
When we moved to our first house, it struck...

Dealing with this everyday....
feeling nervous, insecure,
not myself
Like a jigsaw puzzle
missing a few pieces....
I feel incomplete. 
Living a stress free life
and maintaining order....
That's what works best for me.
Not knowing when a seizure
will happen-
The lights go dim....
Feeling scared,
feeling helpless.
Laying on the floor
feeling like giving up....
Just let the...

The first time I had a seizure,
I was in class, at the front to be precise
I'd been called up to do a sum
When in a fit I was down on the floor 

I can't remember much after,
But I know I went home to a worried...

Been falling a bit more often lately
All caused by my fits of late-life epilepsy
The only thing that could be serious
If I crack my head on the edge of something hard
Mostly I just slide down no harm no foul
Luckily my two brawny sons
Always seem to be...

Once upon a time my eye fell on some videos and pictures,
On the Net I saw a lovely, such a young and beauteous creature...
But, of course, it's not her stature, and it's not her noble features 
That gave me an inspiration 'cause I  know...

Bright pics in my imagination 
Are quite a typical thing.
However there is an exception 
That my nightdreams seldom bring. 

Once dreams, as usual, started flocking
In my unwearying head...
I saw you met me, starting talking,
I saw you were in my land!

I hope this dream's a special...

This poem is dedicated to Cassidy Megan, the founder of Purple Day.

Canadianie, take my lavender ribbon:
I will stretch it to you, my dear, from Russian coasts.
My "Hallelujah!" will at once be free-born
As soon as you reply those loud and distant calls.

I write about the Western...
