"A Temporary Vegetative State"

A sudden fear comes over me, A knot forms in my stomach, My eyes then close, As I know what’s coming, A head sensation unlike the rest, Fear being prevalent, Thoughts seemingly slow down, Continually becoming more intense, Praying the sensations will dissipate, That it’s only a dream, Until I feel them evolve, No longer do I feel free, I stare straight into nothingness, Unable to speak or move, Words non-comprehendible, To others just appearing spaced, Cognizant of what’s occurring, Yet unable to act, Helpless to others, Helpless to myself, I scream for the world to hear me, But not a word is uttered, In a temporary vegetative state, Trapped in myself, Paranoid others will notice, That it will forever remain this way, Terrified of this out-of-body experience, Until the seizure finally fades.
