Epilepsy isn’t always seen,
not just the shake, not just the sheen.
It’s signals sparking out of line,
a storm inside the brain’s design.
A seizure starts when networks stray,
when neurons fire the wrong way.
Some freeze in place, some fall, some stare —
not every storm is loud out there.
It isn’t caused by fear or fright,
nor spirits, myths, nor faults at night.
It’s science rooted deep and real,
electric currents we can’t feel.
Medication helps the waves restore,
and some need tests or treatments more.
Support, not stigma, lights the way
for those who face this every day.
So if one falls or drifts from now,
stay calm, stay close, don’t panic somehow.
Give space, keep time, let safety guide —
your steady presence by their side.
Epilepsy’s truth is clear and bright:
with care and knowledge comes more light.
And understanding breaks the chain
for those with lightning in the brain.
