Migraine

Jagged flashing lights on peripheral side

A warning is here you must abide

–

The shocking hurt will be here soon

Unconsciousness your only boon

–

Pressure crushing like the bottom of an ocean

Dizziness and nausea with each motion

–

Never want to leave the bed

Pulsing throbs inside your head

–

Close your eyes and pray to sleep

Never felt pain could be so deep

–

Front and back right side and left

Wishing this was all bereft

–

Suck down aspirins 3 at a time

Praying the pain will end this time

–

Wake up in the morrow and it didn’t end

First to greet you is that throbbing friend

–

Off with the lights embrace the dark

Relief to your eyes from daylight’s spark

–

Reading impossible it’s hurts too much

Nothing to bridge the gap or crutch

–

A silent prayer just to yourself

That this ends, a relief and wealth

  2. I agree, I have migraines and I also have severe pain from paroxysmal hemicrania. It’s like cluster headaches in several ways, both are trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia/TAC type headaches. Pain is real.
