This poem took me forever.Okay... Two weeks, but it's the longest time I've taking to write a poem. I brought it to school like I am suppose to, but my teacher and all the students in my class said that I can't say such thing as "Raping" or "What makes them feel". They thought of it as something else. To be honest, it's not my problem they are dirty minded!

In 2 days' time it will be "Purple Day" A day devoted to raising awareness of epilepsy, and destroying the stigma around it.
