What is Migraine?
You look at my face
What do you see?
A slight frown...
hand on head...
You listen to sounds
What do you hear?
A slight holding of breath...
a muffled groan
What does it all mean?
‘What's going on," you ask...
"I have a migraine" I say
"Just take some aspirin... it will go away"
And on you go about your day
A tear rolls down my face
For the lack of understanding
I flinch and shutter from the bright lights around
But what about the inside...
The inside...
Do you really want to know?
The inside...
Is CHAOS
Blood vessels constricting
Pounding of drums
There is no escape!
Time insufferable!
Running from sound, running from light
The stomach spins
Twists
Skin is clammy
Trembling with pain
When WILL this private war END?
No one can tell
No medicine will work
No time ending it gives
Whenever migraine takes flight
"It's just a headache" some say...
"Just take some aspirin"
It will go away
They speak so easily
But they do not know
The incredible possession
Of Migraine taking hold.
