#2 Epilepsy Poem.
I chose this poem I wrote because people don't get how bad epilepsy is. I've had epilepsy for ten years and I don't know if it will ever go away. Therefore I won't be able to drive or have kids when I'm older. If you understand the pain and misery of cancer and trying to make it go away and trying not to die, then you would understand epilepsy. I wanted people to know that I fell down the stairs, that I was on the Ketogentic diet and it could've killed me, and that all these pills you take could kill you. Hopefully this poem reaches out and shows you that epilepsy is a big deal and not something to joke about.
Not exciting. Quite painful.
People just don't understand.
They say they do. They say they get it,
What I'm going through. Just, nobody does.
They don't have it like I do.
Epilepsy.
Medication. Wake up. Down five pills.
Go to bed. Down another five.
Hate your life yet? This is just
the beginning. 70 pills a week.
Nope let's change it. Now it's 77.
Spending tons of money. Is there a cure? Probably not.
" Don't forget to take your medicine sweet heart."
But, what if I do?
One dose is all it takes.
To fall flat on your face.
Epilepsy.
Side effects. Gaining weight. Losing weight.
Who wants to look pregnant at 15 years old?
Who wants to look like she's starving at 17?
Nobody. We try different pills so I don't gain weight.
Cool, the pill works, but wait...depression hits and you have that from
5th grade from junior year.
Where are all your friends now?
Laughing in a crowd.
While you're all alone at home.
Epilepsy.
Doctors. Hospitals. EEG's.
You eat Culver's. I eat salads...every day.
That's called the Ketogentic diet.
Then you have to get off of that because you're going to die
Because you're losing too much weight
And you might have to go into the hospital
And get feeding tubes and IV's. But hey, it's
Epilepsy.

I wrote this poem 'Top 8 things confusing about guys' to show that guys don't really understand what their doing to girls. They think their doing the right things and acting cool, but their not. So, I thought this poem would help guys see a perspective from a girl like me. I chose this piece of writing because I am constantly on Facebook. So when I am on Facebook, number eight happened to me. I dated plenty of guys in middle school, even if those relationships don't count, I learned a lot from those guys. Numbers one, three, four and six. I had a guy cheat on me with a girl way prettier than me and she was my friend at the time. She didn't know him and I were dating because at the time her and I weren't talking when I was dating that guy. So he cheated with me with that beautiful girl. It's nice to know number one happens to this day. You really like a guy, so you think that the only girl he talks to is you, but he's talking to four other girls and saying the same thing. Cool. Number seven happened to me freshman year and number two happens to me on a day to day basis with my boyfriend. This is the truth, which needs to be expressed.
Top 8 things confusing about guys.
1. 'The only girl I talk to is you.'
Can I just say that's just a total lie?
Maybe if he's your boyfriend, but even then I bet
he talks to girls he likes. You could be texting him
and he's texting another girl he likes better. He's doing
this with five different girls.
If you don't like ME, tell me so, so I don't have to waste my time
talking to you.
2. They say we're confusing, but they are too.
Yes girls are needy, at least I can be. I want a guy to show up at
my door when I'm sick with a can of soup and watch my
favorite movie with me. Girls don't need to say what they want. It's all
over Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Guys are confusing because they
say one thing and mean another.
3. They lie.
They say their out with their 'friends' but they could be out with a different girl.
How can you trust him? He says they are 'just friends', but that PDA shows more.
They also say we look good in a dress or an outfit. If I don't, tell me so I don't
go out looking out ugly.
4. They say they just want you, but they really just want sex.
You talk to a guy for a week or so and this guy is really sweet. You
guys hang out this first time and he tries to make the first move and you feel uncomfortable.
Every guy you've been with has done that. You tell him you're not ready
and you guys never speak again.
5. They rarely compliment you:
Sadly, these days being nice can be mistaken
as flirting. Yet, guys should suck it up and compliment a girl because
maybe she was having a bad day and that compliment makes her feel
a lot better. Girls have an insecure feeling about their looks.
It'd be nice to hear that they look nice, even without a short skirt on.
6. They cheat on you.
Yes, females cheat too, but males cheat more often. They say they love you,
but then they cheat on you with this Victoria Secret looking model. You
thought you were their 'one and only' even though you're not
model material, but that's what he liked about you.
7. They swore they never hit you.
You think of reasons people relate to, but it's like...I can talk about me here.
Guys confuse me when they say, 'Hitting a girl is totally wrong,'
but they do it to you. They leave bruises. You hide them
You love them and can't let go. They tell you not to tell anyone or they will
hurt you more.
This situation is called 'trashy' or 'ghetto', It's the truth.
It's happening here today and it happened to me when I was 14.

8. They say they will be there for you.
It's two a.m. and you're upset. You call or text
this kid that was really special to you
at one point. He doesn't pick up, but
said he would. You're really sad and at your locker.
He sees you. He said he always make sure you're okay,
but tears are streaming down your face while he walks away.
Guys don't care about a lot of things.They say their 'different' from
any other guy, even though you heard that lie a thousand times.
Guys don't care. Their too immature. If you get a boyfriend,
make sure it's the right one, or you're trapped for sure.
#4 Interview with Elvis Presley.
I chose to put this piece in here because my teacher really liked it, which makes me happy because she's an English major. Our creative writing class had to pick a thing or person and learn more about it. We had to come up with five idea's. This was one of my idea's and was my favorite idea. I knew Elvis from 'Full House' and my grandpa, but I never really knew actual facts myself. So it was nice having this idea to work with.
