Migraine, Migraine, You're a Pain

by Genevieve Sturrock

the 40 watts are glaring
my breathing is blaring
like a trumpet in a big brass band

my pillow's a brick
blinking makes me sick
cause my eyelids are coated in sand

my sheets make me itch
i can feel every stitch
of my gown made of fibre glass

i don't mean to be curt
but, God, my head hurts
this migraine's a pain the a**

Good one, Genevieve! You've captured the pain perfectly. ;)

Being one who suffers from migraines, this one hit me right in the head. :) I loved the first stanza. It drew me right into the rest of the oh-so-true poem.

I love this poem Genevieve and know that pain in the A feeling. And as good as aspirin is said to take away the achy feeling, in lore it is said that Count Dracula had the best cure there was for migraine, whenever he felt one coming on in his foes he impaled them and soon after that the migraines were gone forevermore.

I do not have migraines and from descriptions from friends, I am very thankful. Still you were able to give an underlying feeling of humor to this. Thank you.
