Respect Epilepsy

Respect those who have epilepsy,

Respect those who treat epilepsy,

The trips to the doctor are enough to kill,

Not to mention taking all those pills,

Going on diets that are supposed to cure,

Families panicking when seizures occur,

Always being misunderstood,

Living through harsh childhood's,

Never able to drive or be alone long,

Because they are different they never are wrong,

With all things these people go through,

The last thing they need is disrespect from you.
