headaches

A/NI don't get headaches often, but when I do, they're powerful enough to put a quaking halt to my plans for the rest of the day.

Q: Why do we get headaches?

●✦━━━━━━━━━━✧✦✧━━━━━━━━━━✦●


I walk briskly

out into the open air

and sit in the car

Then it hits me

like a brick to the head

What is this?

Is this pain?

Or am I just

so very

extremely

cold?


At first,

I don't pay much mind to it

But then

the sensation intensifies

By now

both hemispheres of my brain

are throbbing with sharp stabs of pain

The intensity magnifies 

when I try to suppress it


All I know is that

my brain was frigid 

and is now on high alert

My stress levels may have shot through the roof

of this car 😉

My brain does not feel like

it is receiving enough oxygen

from my heart


I want nothing more

than to clutch my head

tightly like a bandage

and to

rock myself to sleep

Take me away from

this enduring pain

A/NA poem about splitting headaches

while I am currently experiencing one.


Since poetry is about expressing feelings 

and describing concepts rather than 

creating entire stories, I thought why not 

write about this h*ll of a headache

that's probably going to keep me up all night
