Walking happily through the house
smiling, laughing and joking,
just another normal teenager
playing around with her family.
Darkness falls all of a sudden,
my head starts spinning real fast
like I just got off a merry-go-round
and I can't tell up from down.
Grabbing any and everything
just to keep from falling over
and my stomach does fast somersaults,
the darkness presses in quickly.
The headache starts pounding painfully
like a hammer to the forehead
as my vision starts to clear,
the dizziness gets worse.
Hold on firm and wait till it passes,
the darkness slowly recedes
and the world comes slowly into focus,
this one wasn't really so bad.
The headache gets worse
but my tummy starts settling,
just close my eyes and rest a minute,
don't worry I'm better now.
Another dizzy spell has come and gone,
painful but better then its been,
I rub my forehead and drink something cold
and try to smile when someone looks.
Come and gone in a matter of seconds
but for a few seconds times still,
block out the headache and dizziness,
laugh and continue my day.
