Migraine

My head hurts with a pain that begs my body to shut down, I am more than wanting to stop, yet knowing that stopping will get me nowhere, a cloud forms over my brow as a band tightens around my heart cinching my soul, an ache so deep my ancestors know it's pain, my head hurts, if only I could sleep.
