Why Does Not Anyone Understand Us?
Why Does Not Anyone Understand Us?
Why does not anyone understand us?
Having seizures is not our fault
Suddenly, it happens, even on a bus!
Crowds gather, raising quite a talk
She is faking it, they all say
Expecting seizures to be only in this fashion
Not aware of others, leaving one in absolute sway
Knowledge severely lacking, expecting a lot of thrashing
Yet others see and do declare He is a fluke
Cops see him as drunken, pulling out the tasers
Postictal is he, just now been declared mentally impute
She ends up in a Mental Hospital, while he lands in Jail
Deprived of their much needed medication
Which they begged and pleaded without avail
In addition, they both are in continuous explanation
Declared was she as psychiatric, he was charged with crime!
Epilepsy is not all what one thinks it ought to be and perceived
Their Neurologists learned of their plight rescued them in time
Emotionally traumatic for both, but he fell down and seized
She underwent counseling; unfortunately, he died
Fear consumed her thoughts, while S U D E P took his life
Grieving and angry family attended to his funeral and cried
While she went on in trying hard dealing with this strife
Why does not anyone understand us?
We will always suffer as we continue to fight
Still constantly, ignored with much fuss
Rising up our voice, with fervor; bringing Epilepsy to light!
