When you see me in public you always pass me by.
Never do you take the time to say the two letters HI.
Yes I have an illness yes that may be.
But the same God that made me also made thee.
So that makes me wonder. What kind of creature did God make thee ?
This is the words that came when I treated like I'm contagious .
Have a seizure free day and keeping writing. It's a good way to ease your stress.

Hi @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, thanks very much. I found it so confusing for a time after seizures and tried to explain it to people what it felt like. I felt by explaining through poetry was the easiest and I prefer to use humor to break the ice and show people i’m not ashamed of having epilepsy.
Might post others in the future.
Thanks, Talk2u soon,

I may not always write a comedic poem but I do believe in humor to help people feel more at ease when talking and learning about epilepsy. I want people to understand me, not pity me. Epilepsy has enough ugliness strapped to it's back. When I can look at it and laugh at the craziness of it all I actually feel more normal. I love it when people say that they know that when someone has a seizure to stick something in their mouth so they don't swallow their tongue. I am so lucky because mine keeps growing back even when I have a seizure all alone.

Hi @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, your poem is really good and I can relate very well to it - it’s so true! Congrats. Keep it up you are a natural and talented poet - oh, and I agree it and my Art are really great release points for any stress build up. Talk2u soon,
