New work

Please go away

This pain

Pulsing through my head

Throbbing angrily

As if it were a drum

Every pound

Vibrating me

Nauseated

As I struggle to stand straight

Even focusing is too hard

My thumb and index posed

Trying to sooth

Miserably

Why won’t it stop?

What did I do this time?

Medication inutile

Nothing can make it better

Hours pass by

But this unwelcome guest

Will not get the hint

And

Fuck off

As if it were the last guest

That will not get the hint

Forever overstaying their welcome

Did I ask you to come?

No

Please leave

Pity me

Please go away

Headache

.

This headache is killing me

It’s hurting to try to see

Suffering seems to be my game

As I cower at the table with pain

Throbbing hard like a drum

Hurting lots, not much fun

As I crawl off to go to bed

Try to escape from my head

Take my meds, little pills

Swig some water, little swill

Under the covers in the dark

Dog outside, hear him bark

I cover my head I want to die

Waiting for this headache to go by
