The Dragon in Me

Here is a link to the group where this challenge by Celia in Underland was posted...

The struggles are endless...

I can't drive, work full time, or go to my dream college.

If I do, I'm putting myself in danger.

Almost a decade of this living hell

But I still wake up,

I work two part time jobs,

I try, pushing myself to my body's limits.

After convulsing almost daily,

I get up and fight back tears from anger and embarrassment.

I push through the work day,

Even with seizing numerous times.

I fight my depressive episodes,

Getting out of bed, working, and cooking when I don't want to.

I force down at least 15 pills a day,

Just to survive as normal a life as I can.

As hard as it is,

I must keep fighting.

If not for me, then for grandma.
