Epilepsy: an inevitable thief

by @Kideo4life

by Desmond Makatu, Your visits are unpredictable. like a ghost, you're invisible. The attacks are inevitable. You come like a thief at night. You seize me day and night. "Epilepsy: an inevitable thief" Cruelty unrestricted to age. Victimising even toddlers. Unrestricted to ethnic groups. My life has time gaps. Gaps, like discrete graphs. Cracks depict thin line between life and death. Grace bridges the gaps and life prevails over death. Seizures still haunt me like a demonic wrath. "Epilepsy: an inevitable thief" Attacks are brief, bruises lasts forever. You offer questions only God can answer. Quest for answers is like probing for cure of Cancer. Death seemed to be the answer but God thought otherwise. First seizure shook like multiple earthquakes. Followed by a pool of darkness. woke up confused, crowd's facial expressions said a thousand words. Migraines raided my head, exposed to enormous pressure. Officially baptised by wrath of seizures. "Epilepsy: an inevitable thief" You're a physical and psychological culprit. Like a Yoyo, you take me into a roller-coaster of emotions. Aftermaths of your theft are etched in my mind as if they’re on stones. Behind my “poker face” lies devastating pains than physicals seen by the  crowd. "Epilepsy: an inevitable thief" Watch video on YouTube. https://youtu.be/VggXerYLOHY
