STAYING HEALTHY, THE EPILEPTIC WAY

I have been battling seizures for many years. I want to share my story and help others live better everyday.

EPILEPTICS: THE LEAST LAZY AND THE MOST EFFICIENT


Epileptics may sit at home and we may hear everything that’s going on around us, thinking of the possibilities that we can do, but others are asked instead and they do nothing that is requested of them.

Epileptics don’t need to point their fingers at anyone because we know those that are wrong and who are right when we hear questions that are asked of others to do, as easy and as simple as anything, but, yet refuse to as they think that they are right when everyone else around knows that they are not. Without saying a word, they just try to blow it over, but they don’t realize (or do realize more than not) that it does stay on the shoulders and heads of other people that they obviously do not care about family, friend or foe.

Epileptics wish to be asked to do the jobs that are asked of others, especially when the questions that are being asked go ignored, the task is not done well, or if done is left a mess for others to clean up and finish. But, we know what the reasons are for us never being asked: To keep us safe and secure, and silent.

Some think we are no good for many jobs.

Epileptics over the years began to look worthless, mindless, sometimes helpless even, and laughed at when we try push ourselves to limits that are not actually set by us, but by other people. This can make us feel more depressed day by day when we know that none of these issues are actually true at all. We know that we are better, resourceful, helpful and of value more then they will ever know.

Epileptics for that matter, CAN and WILL help others with problems, both small and severe that are in need, have faith, and request it to make sure their dreams DO come true, far from an unfair life! We will fight our entire lives to make a difference and we will never give up, no matter the obstacles that come our way.

So make sure you always remember that Epileptics are far from lazy and are here to help anyone who needs it the safest way they can!

STARING OUT OF A WINDOW

Some of us find ourselves sometimes staring out of a window every day and night,
Listening to the wind blow,

Wondering where is my life taking me?


When will my life finally take a turn for the better?

We stare at the leaves on the trees,
The blooming flowers,
We listen to the birds chirping in the air
And we wonder why.

Why can’t my life be as easy and beautiful as those birds who have their freedom?

Or those healthy leaves waving up in the air?


And then reality checks in,
Leaving us every day feeling like a caged animal or
A prison cellmate
staring out of a window.   

While in deep thought of why you are not any of the above,
but tend to feel even worse when a person in prison who can befriend others,
Have their break time,
Gym time,
Gaming time,
but you’re just that guy.

That guy who wishes he could see a friend or a coworker,
When all he sees is that aging couch over there,
Along with his or her own life being wasted away minute by minute.

With people trying to do the right thing for you by trying to keep you safe from the outside world of opportunities,

While leaving you staring out of a window.

The seasons change,
The snow falls from the beautiful white clouds,
The snow melts away and the rain begins to splash down on the ground
While soiling the muddy banks for wild life’s creatures we love to return from.

The habitats of nature’s ways of life begin again full circle right before our own eyes.

And all we get to do is sit,

And stay seated while our eyes start to water up,
As we bow our heads to the wooden floor so not to be seen.
As we continue in our wonderment of the outside world from staring out of a window.      

Watching cars drive by,
Watching for kids on the street when there aren’t any,
And watching those older folks who were taking their daily walks.
Staring at them wondering what a wonderful life.

But then those folks who you never met stopped coming.

Cars full of kids lessened as you notice lives dying away all around you.
While you sat wasting your own away while staring out of a window.

Year by year you stay,
Looking at the ground while the leaves on the trees begin to fall.
T
he green grass that you haven’t ever stepped on dies,
The precious flowers wilt,
The birds fly south and you find your self all alone.
Dying away and coming back to life again like the leaves on the trees,
The grass begins to prosper.

Your friends return from down south while all along you still find yourself in denial of what your life could have achieved.

While we find ourselves in that same exact spot on that aging couch staring out of a window.
