Because I love you
Sat, 11/15/2014 - 20:02Because I love you, maybe you should know
I fell to the floor,
but learned to arise from a fall.
I learned nobody was there to understand at all,
I learned to depend on me,
I learned failure couldn't be worse than humility,
I lost love,
I always loved you,
You could never see,
You could only see the epilepsy,
That must make me crazy.
There's only one person who believed in me.
That's what epilepsy taught me.
I'm a lover, and a fighter,
I fought for my life,
I fought for love, to be alone,
I fought for my education.
I failed at everything I couldn't do on my own.
Pain will never leave,
nor the frustration.
I still love you.
Treat my heart tenderly.
This is good and many people

This is good and many people feel they have been left to do things themselves. I learned something when doctors told me they had done everything they could do that there are others who are in the backgrounds that also love me/ They know w are going thru something they have no way to understand and know no way of helping someone in a seizure. That person in my life was my mother. The doctors had done everything they could do when I was in the hospital having gone into status peilepticus. I was told I had come out but before Mom got there I went back into it. All I know is what I was told by the head of the hospital that they had given up because they had done everything. He then told me tha my Mother didn't give up. So I can say if not for a mothers prayer I would not be here today. I have felt like wht you posted then I look at what our friends and family members who want to help but they have no way of knowing how it effects us. They know nothing about the drain of energy that even an absence seizure takes. They know nothing about how we feel while in those seizures or how we feel after comming out of them. My brother tried to put himself in my place. He called them spaz attacks which in some ways they are. I asked him to think about who he would feel. Or if he had epilepsy what he would do. After comming back from NAM mom he and I were setting at the table and talking. Mom said that while he was in NAM she worried about something happening to him. she said she would not have worried about me because she knew I would find a way to keep on going. Keep up your thoughts and do bring in some more.
