Headache

it hurts worse than anything,
cycling constant
through my cursed head
and I hate it

throbbing
it has me sobbing  
trying to remember to breathe
please make it stop

hours seem like days  
of constant affliction
and I just want to know
why?
 
what's the point  
when there's nothing I can do  
to save my mind of the monster
called migraine?
 
ice packs, shoulder rubs,  
holding my head like  
a crazy person--
is it really that bad?  
 
popping pain pills fast enough  
to kill my kidneys in a day  
or is it my liver?  
I don't care, just make it better  
 
no cure for my anger or dread  
knowing I'm pressing through
only to wait for the next one  
to come haunt me  
 
I can't think  
can't speak  
can't do anything  
can't exist  
 
no light  
no noise  
no movement  
nothing  
 
makes me dizzy  
makes me sick  
makes my ears go off like sirens  
an alarm:  
 
"there's something wrong with your head!"
