Ha,ha, I think your poem has put a smile on my face, and made me feel better. I,m still smiling while writing to you. Anyway I think the best thing for you to do is to forget your seizures and enjoy life. Just smile like the rest of us.

Welcome to my life! Ikm not gonna tell what I've done to me, sorry. It was not good, but I'm just sick of it all and yeah, I want to never wake up again. I've become a great liar, just put a fake smile. What else could I do? My family almost called the cops because I didn't hear the phone ringing while under the shower!
