A Warrior's Spirit

In the depths of the mind, a tempest brews. Unseen by eyes, yet felt in every nerve, a dance of chaos, a symphony askew. Epilepsy; A tumultuous curve.

No rhyme or reason to the wild embrace, It strikes unbidden, a lightning bolt's kiss. Unleashing torrents, disrupting life's pace, An affliction that grants no moment's bliss.

Within the storm, the body's confined; A captive to whims of neurons misfiring. Unruly currents, tangled and entwined, Creating a world of constant rewiring.

Seizures. Like jagged waves upon the shore, Crashing upon the shores of fragile existence. Leaving in their wake, a sense of war, A battle fought within; no resistance.

BUT in the midst of this tumultuous strife, There lies a spirit, resilient and strong! A fighter who navigates through the rife, Seeking solace, peace CAN belong.

In the heart of darkness, light does gleam. In the depths of despair, hope finds a way. Through the support of loved ones, like a dream, A lifeline extending through night and day.

Though epilepsy may cast a shadow wide, It cannot quell the spirit's inner flame. Strength and courage, like a rising tide, Can conquer even the fiercest of game.

Let us stand together, side by side, Against the storms that epilepsy may bring. Bound by love and understanding, we will stride, Embrace our life as warriors, we will sing.

In the tapestry of life, we find our place, Epilepsy, a thread, woven into our story. Though this journey may have its own pace, We will face it with grace, and bask in the glory.
