I wrote this recently trying to explain what it’s like for me to have a seizure. I hope you enjoy ??
When this happens….
I feel it all and none in a single movement.
I can’t see
Oh wait I can
I can’t hear
Wait
Maybe…
Layered stimuli
Coming from both within and out
Bombard me
Relentlessly flood my losing mind
Stretching out in attempts to differentiate between the conceptualized and existing
My fingers ingest and dissect
They reveal to me truth
The fictional and minorly painful tales continue to destructively chassè
Confusing and disconnecting mind and body
Coming between the two with intentional discord on their unannounced predestined schedules.
Kid napping the control center of my overly trusting and underly successful, protective gate keeper.
Pirating and plundering at the expense of my reputable role in this unforgetting realm.
Excuse yourself and I command you to feed elsewhere faceless foe
Or no.
Leave unsatisfied and starving
Searching and never finding cracked windows or critter sized crevices.
Your whirls, spins, and thrills- incomparable to the chaos you maliciously leave.
You’re no longer welcome.
Not because I can’t take it.
I can.
But because I am and We are stronger.
And to you- I say no.
