Dear Epilepsy

Dear Epilepsy,

It's me again

I haven't talked to you in a while

I've been a bit preoccupied

Finding my stride

Finding my smile

All while fighting your pain

You've been in my life for too long

How can I make you leave?

Can't you just leave me alone?

It's time to give up your throne

And stop making me grieve

I'm tired of being strong

How much longer can I do this?

It's so tough as a fight

Haven't you had your fun?

Ten years ago it was begun

Since then, it's never been alright

My life has been an abyss

It's hard to find the light

I've almost given up

I'm too tired to do this

I can't find any bliss

I'm so close to giving up

I don't want to fight this fight

But I won't give you the last laugh

I won't let you win

You don't get that satisfaction

You would have a celebratory reaction

Awful you have been

But I will overcome your reign of terror

With disgust,

Your Old Friend
