I feel it eating the essence of my life,
Taking my mind,
So many jumbled thoughts no sense at all,
Leaving me feeling blind.
Aches in my head, tormented and teased,
I can’t let it end this way,
But I can’t even prove it’s there,
But I feel the monster slowly consuming my day.
I cannot think, I cannot see,
I cannot feel anything but pain,
As I feel it deep inside my head,
The feeling only of a migraine.
Restless nights, a sweat-drenched bed,
I toss and turn too scared to sleep,
Because the haunted dream shows at night,
It makes me lose it and weep.
Dizzy spells and angry images,
Paint me in a hospital bed,
Being kept alive by a machine,
With not a strand of hair on my head.
I can’t even think, my brain really aches,
I’ve forgotten the things I once knew,
I’m not me right now, I’m someone else,
But there’s nothing at all I can do.
Pain falls like a shadow,
I’m numb, but there’s no relief,
I can’t see it at all,
But there’s a monster beneath.
