"its ok to be afraid." its a poem about siezurs

Sat, 03/10/2012 - 22:34

hay, im future poet.

im new. ive been recently had my first siezur and ive been through a hard time. and i dont really feel like i can talk to a lot of people. so i wrote a poem that explained how i felt. I hope you like it.

Its ok to be afraid

Ever since it happend to me

Iv'e been blind to those around me

to those in need

even my family

i mope and stay in bed

everything was wrong inside my head

everyday i would cry a tear

every night i would sleep in fear

afraid that it would happen again

you see i have things going on with me

i was scared to be afraid

but jesus christ said its ok

but you cant press pause on your life

you cant say stop

but you can live it out loud

jesus christ has a plan with your life

maybe its to make a shoe

or to be a friend to one who needs you.

Sometimes its hard to listen to your own words

sometimes i'd rather sing

songs made by birds

most times when i would pray

i wouldnt know what to say

i was angry and upset but mostly afraid.

and i wanted someone to blame.

ever since this happened to me

i havent felt the same

but i know it isnt easy

and not lemon squezy

but i know its ok to be afraid

and i know that jesus christ

has a plan for my life

no matter how hard i have to strive

i want my life to be for jesus christ.

How old are you? So you've just been recently diagnosed. I definitely know what your feeling. The fear of seizures and possible social issues are difficult to overcome. Chances are, as it has in my case, things will get better with time
