Seize or Be Seized

First, you feel a slightly painful tinge in the back.
The pain gets stronger until your sight goes black.
You brain pulses and slams hard against your skull.
Your body hits the ground and your eyes start to roll.
From the cold, hard ground to a hospital bed.
Then you snap awake and realize it’s in your head.
You laugh and think “I wish it were real.”
You sit in your desk deciding how to feel.
You can’t live like this, just go with the flow.
You can’t live like that, you’re a freak show.
This is a joke, You have to be normal. You can’t be insane.
You curse God with streams of anger flowing to your brain.
I can’t believe this. I didn’t imagine that
short lapse in time. I know for a fact.
The doctors tell me to avoid flashes, but I don't care what they say.
Because I'm done being seized and I'm seizing the day.
