Living with epilepsy?
A question from a stranger
difficult to answer when
epilepsy only lives with me ~
doesn’t show itself in
unconscious flailing
a crash to the floor without warning
ragged, frightening breathing.
Epilepsy sleeps.
Quietly tucked in my brain
masked by a small bit of
medication, calming and
grounding with yoga and
exercise, sleeping a
good sleep each night ~
most of the time.
I offer a huge dose of gratitude
to that stranger. As long as I live
with care ~ living with epilepsy is
easy, but not simple.
“It is not living that matters, but living rightly.”
~ Socrates
