Spent 5 weeks in a specialist Epilepsy Hospital and wrote a poem at one of my lowest points.

[Nicole1]

Trapped in my Body.

When you know what's capable,

But your body won't give.

When you need brain activity,

So you are able to 'live'.

The brain is so complex,

And so far from peace.

So you lie awake until midnight,

Straightening out every crease.

Your minds screaming out,

Please let me fit!!

But your body is thinking,

'I'll make her wait for a bit'.

So I sit in the hospital,

Praying I seize.

My family and friends all keep me at ease.

But all that I want,

Is truely to be,

100% completely fit free.

Nicole ❤❤💪💪

What a fantastic poem it’s exactly how I feel you have read a lot of our minds I’m sure. My family are so happy when I don’t fit but I get so tired physically waiting for them to come.

Again it’s fantastic you hit the nail on the head I love it 😍

Very well done. I too suffer from epilepsy and also write poetry.

Nicole, you have considerable talent. Have you ever thought of doing an Open University course? I think you could do a course in Creative Writing. I managed two of them

[Nicole1 in reply to rustypen31]

No I have never heard of that course, I often only write when the feeling strikes 😂 thankyou xxx

[Hidden in reply to Nicole1]

You should think about doing an Open University course with your talent 👍😄 I also have epilepsy, hence being on this site, but do not have any talents an OK rounder! X SJ
