Time Is Now
TIME IS NOW
Sun began to set and moon began to rise,
As I looked down upon my bed, I left a heavy sigh.
Shall the nocturnal come with its own silent surprise?
As I pondered, lying down to slumber, for suddenly without a cry;
For within and without, no knowledge in store,
It had struck without a warning,
Whereas confused and dazed than before,
That it has left me in the morning;
Alas, the body is aching and sore!
Seizure has struck, attacking me as before,
Repetitiously, ruthlessly, leaving one at its mercy!
Sadly one must endure with in its own reigns galore;
For this Epilepsy should be considered a "Grand Larceny"!
Medications here, Medications there, with titration to no end,
Some are mind blowing, while others are God-send!
Poked and prodded endlessly, blood levels must be checked,
In and out, constant routine, never seem to end,
Alas, Epilepsy, a nightmare that is certainly not blessed!
Fears within, and fears without, how long must one endure?
The quest to press on, never knowing when seizure impart;
For such leaves one wide out in the open, victims for sure!
Never knowing what lies in depth, for one can depart!
It affects and effects one and all, a burdensome constraining;
Lack of understanding and strain imposed, a burden to carry,
It knows no boundaries, nor its victims, which are gaining,
Like sands of the sea, victims are many, ages vary,
Alas, Epilepsy, mean, cruel, and growth ever-abounding!
Solitude, Peace, No more Seizures, those with Epilepsy cry out,
Neuroscience and Scientist prevail with ongoing research,
Moving quickly at rapid pace, scurrying all about,
People with Epilepsy are dying, others injured and on the lurch;
With hopes that one day, cure would come eliminating this thing,
All working together as a team, efforts are slowly advancing.
Progression have been made; many are left behind for a time being,
Medications with side effects, the needs are expanding,
Alas, Epilepsy, there is a time for action, for that time is NOW.
