I'm Not Mental, Sick, or Contagious
- submitted as spoken word 

I'm not mental, sick, or contagious!

I convulse,

     When I could be sleeping.

I stare at times,

     When I could be daydreaming.

I'm super-charged with electric energy!

I have fits,

     But I'm not angry.

I get out of step,

     But what the heck.

I'm proud to be me, not normal you see.

I have Epilepsy, you know,

   Seizures but they don't have me!
