Behind the Teenaged Mind

Epilepsy Freak

People look at you they think you're a freak
They hear epilepsy
They think your insane
Your not sick
Your just weak
So you cower away
When they see you lose control
Unable to dictate to you body
They say it's all in your head
Or worse they look at you with sympathetic eyes
Like your weak and broken
Oh poor thing
But they still refuse to understand
They chose to stay ignorant
They think you're retarded
They think your brain is severely damaged
They don't understand you
They can't see your beautiful mind
How intelligent you truly are
So what you can't soar with time constraints
Your brain just works differently
So what you if you have to read slow
It only means you take your time to fully comprehend
So what if you have horrible hand writing
It just means your intelligent and creative
Your just trying to get your thoughts out for the world to see
So what they think your weak
They just can't see the war your fighting
The battles that go on within you
They just can't see just how strong of a warrior you truly are
So what you have trouble advocating yourself
Your just waiting for the right moment
Who cares about what those ignorant people think
They just can't see how beautiful you are
Both inside and out
But one day they'll see
And they'll wish they stuck around
To learn to understand
