Now I am not a poet but I do write. I love poetry because I love to hear people tell their feelings, the good and the bad. With all their emotion and don't hide any of it. When I hear a poem like that I just get goose bumps because I can feel their emotion. I always tried to write a poem because I have a lot to say but just couldn't put it down like that. I write differently. I write my feelings in form of a book, plays, and screenplays. The play that I produced in 2003 was named "Between Us" and was so full of emotion. I would say what its about but should I because it isn't about Epilepsy? Maybe not. I do have epilepsy but I just never have written about it and i don't know why. Maybe it is too close. Well maybe I shouldn't be on this group since I don't write about epilepsy. I am sorry if I interrupted this group.

I tried to e-mail a poem in for the Creative/Poetry Coner but it got bounced back, I e-mailed it to webmaster@tdp.org. Shall I try to e-mail it again or post it as a reply?

It's funny that you perceive yourself differently than others. It's funny that you really have no idea of what you project to others. It's funny that you always thought that you were a well meaning soul. It's funny that you now get confused and forgetful so easily. It's funny that life sometimes let's you down so very hard. It's funny that you are not the same person you once were. It's funny that you have become someone you no longer know. It's funny that friends no longer have the same faith in you. It's funny that your family no longer includes you. It's funny that you are alone most of your days. It's funny that mistakes cannot be forgiven. It's funny that medications make you sad. If it's so funny, why am I crying! Thank you to all who make me laugh, instead of cry, everyday.
