Epilepsy

A person feels most at peace

when the body and mind are sound asleep 

It is then we start to dream

a subconscious state of imagery 

what lies beneath the water lurking

how many steps before the rainbow breaks

we decipher our dreams in an awakened state

but some pieces of the puzzle we still contemplate  

these voids in our memory serve a terrifying purpose

these missing pieces are from where nightmares surface

they attach themselves to our brain 

so we may never see the light again

It is not enough, our dreams for them

They want to break free so we experience hell

Like shots of electricity shooting through our brain

You always remember your first seizure 

If you're epileptic you'll have one again
