A friend of mine wrote this years ago. I came across this once again in
searching my files and thought I would share it once more.

Epilepsy
Society has given me a label,
Of which I can not agree.
They have labeled me disabled
Because I have epilepsy.
They do not look beyond the seizures,
They are afraid of what they see.
So, now it is up to you and me
To educate the public about epilepsy.
If they would look beyond my limitations,
They would be quite surprised to see
That there's a person behind the seizures
Just waiting to be set free.
O what joy awaits the epileptic,
When they hear the doctor say:
"Your seizures are under control
You can reapply for your drivers
License today."
So, let's educate the public about epilepsy,
Then maybe they will begin to understand
What we have to go through every day.
Then if they see us have a seizure, they won't
Turn their head the other way.
