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.
