Frozen In Time

Have you ever suffered from seizures?

I cannot speak, I cannot move,
I can only watch and listen.
While others 'round me frantically,
fear that the worst has happened.

Please! I scream within my mind,
I'm still here don't panic so.
Though I might appear absent here, 
just look into my eyes you'll see.

I'm locked between then and now,
as time moves on around me.
While I can see and I can hear,
all that's going on.

I can't respond so all can see,
I'm trapped in another realm.
Soon I know I'll again be free,
to move about and speak.

But for now, I have to wait
until this trap has passed.
Frozen here for now I am,
unable to react.

While everything around me moves,
as I lay here unresponsive,
Frozen as if in fear, but soon
I'm back as if nothing ever happened.

Frozen In Time is a scary thing,
For all who have been through it.
Life around you moves along, and
you're trapped for just a moment.

This is about a partial seizure, from the seizure victims eyes. I am a victim of these and many other types. A hard thing to describe. I've made a couple of word changes "removed the 'react' that was overused"

I've never read a poem on seizures before--come to think of it, I've never read anything on them ever :O I'll have to do some research :D
But the poem is lovely and it did prick my curiousity. Well done!

So interesting that you posted this one. Just yesterday I either heard or read that a victim is not in pain during these. I wondered what exactly went through their minds. Thank you so much for this enlightening piece.
