Agony tainting a perfect day
In my head silvery-white light flashes
For days it is determined to stay
Through my brain the torture slashes
Sickening throb, head threatens to burst
Endless pain, stopping all thought
Afraid to drink even with desperate thirst
Taking medication helps for naught
Feels like I am underwater trying to walk
Laying down seems the smartest choice
New pain tears my head when trying to talk
Just whispering with a quivering voice
Will this punishment ever end?
How much longer can this last?
Inhumane pain too strong to fend
Watch with dull sight as days stagger past
Vision pulses with every heatbeat
A darkened silent room my only hope
Surviving this seems too great a feat
Just barely holding on, trying to cope.
