A New Sort of Pain

I am climbing up to the very top
though sometimes I stumble along the way
I may pause but I do not mean to stop
but I must go to the bottom they say

They say there's a new pill that I must take
it will keep me from falling down again
but then soon I can barely stay awake
and I start to feel a new sort of pain

I restart the climb, but stumble once more
It's time to go back to the beginning
I'm doing well, but then to my horror
I slip just when I though I was winning

I feel like the Sisyphus of seizures
New meds always overtake my leisure
