EPILEPSY
Epilepsy is a part of me
You can take it or leave it
Because it may not go away
As a matter of fact
It may be here to stay
Am I OK? Yes I am!
Standing up straight
Facing the reality of life
Accepting every part, and possibility for it
Continuing to carry on
Have fun, enjoy myself, do favorite things
Try to make sure there is a smile on my face
But emotions fluctuate
Not every day is perfect
Life is like a ride going up and down
Researching the condition reminding myself
What the chemistry is
When a seizure happens
Stay strong
There is nothing wrong
Back to normal
Whatever that means
Let me continue with what I am going to do
Epilepsy is a part of me
Which makes me unique
In a different way
Keep my head up
And never give up
Cause winners never quit
Quitters never win
And I chose to be a winner
Note from Alyssa: Remember every day and every way we get stronger and stronger.
Never give up, even though things can be difficult.
