My first epilepsy poem

Stuck in the moment,
Praying for light...
Or a day that isn't a fight. 

My body is tired,
my brain is fried, 
yet here I am. 
I am alive. 

I'm still here. 
I never left, 
I'm fighting a war,
Except with myself. 

Can't you see how scary a day,
When my body reacts
And I drift away. 

I am still she,
I still laugh and sing,
My body gets broken,
Does that mean a thing. 

Tell me who to be,
How to get through,
Heavens knows I'm trying 
It's so hard to do. 

I have epilepsy,it doesn't have me,
I'm still here. I'm me. I'm she
