The Keeper

By desrivgirl Saturday, April 19, 2008

 

I am owned by a silent keeper

Who never goes away.

Who has me on a short leash

that I am always trying to escape.

 

I did not choose to be here

And kept under his torturous thumb

Of hell and wishes of dying

in the pain of which I succumb.

 

I lay helpless in his grip

Unable to fall asleep

The pain is too intense

Fear is all that reaps.

 

His arrival my mortal enemy

No matter how much I fight.

I am always forced to give in

This just isn't right!

 

I am labeled weak and unreliable

But there is nothing I can do.

I want to be more then this

And that is the truth!

 

Migraines tell me who I am

and what I can achieve

This is not a real life.

I am genetically deceived.

It's amazing how many of us there are huh? Yet we feel so isolated and looked down on. At least we can voice our frustrations here!!! Heather

I was just telling my hubby tonight that it is a shame that there are so many of us suffering and for some reason the medical profession just can't come up with anything new to help those of us that are not so easily treated.  I just feel like kidnapping me a scientist and telling him to figure it out - ha ha!!
