Golden light stretched forth
Glorious morning coming, not from the North
Stabbing my eyeballs unceasingly
Causing the skin to turn creasingly
What would be a joy, a beauty without compare
Instead is painful, wrenching from my lungs all air.
Woke up with a migraine this morning.
Today I am thankful for my nephew who helped me out when a migraine struck me randomly this last week. Without that kid, I would have been sunk.
—– Why does it hurt so?So much lightToo many voices
Not enough sight
Lights and scents mingle
Sight and sound switch places
Mind is lost as action reigns
Repetitive motions lost among faces
Come this way
Take this rag
I’m always here
Don’t be sad
Can’t do anything right
Keep making mistakes
It just hurts so much
Why keep raising the stakes?
Walk around
Get lost
Take a few steps
Don’t think of the cost
Calm yourself down
I won’t lead you astray
Just take my hand
I’ll help you find your way.

Had a migraine start simmering in my skull a few hours ago, but right in the middle of preparing dinner (my turn) it leaped up and struck. My nephew had to lead me away before I accidentally completely demolished dinner because I had no idea what I was doing. Too many scents and too much light. Don’t worry, dinner was saved by my mom who swooped in and finished it.

Crushing weight in the back of my head
Not sure why it’s there
But it is
It’s always there
Always present
Waiting to strike
At the worst possible moment.
I’m tired
So tired
Why doesn’t this end?
So I snap
Everyone snaps
It happens when you’ve gone too long
So long
Too tired
Too much pain
All the time.
So I snapped
And then went off on my own
Just a moment to gather myself
Can’t let anyone see
Can’t let anyone else get bit.
Just a moment
Just a moment
Just a moment.
Why does it go on?
