Poem Title:
Poem
As my heavy eyes stretched open I suddenly realized, I was not alone You were there with me again, unwelcome with your heaviness and sorrow stirring around once more in the depths of my brain, uninvited. The acute pain you cause me has seemed relentless this past year as you stumble around in my dreams, sleepless I awaken to curtains drawn as the thankless sunlight frowns forsaken. I wondered in my drowsy state If the curse was in the chocolate or perhaps it was that one glass of wine which betrayed me as I fell back in harm’s way while you laid in wait, veiled I could not see. I long to have you out of my life You do not define me yet you try so very hard to keep me under your curse, weakening my very essence with your intense pain , lashing out with your ever ready presence. I am more than you you may steal a day of my life here and there as you savagely twist my hours into tragedy only to see jagged lines of sorrow drawing out my agony. But I am more than you You cannot define me with your promise of pain Or your lifetime of shadows cast from family with the same No this girl, will not let you win even if you are dangerous and inflamed I am more than you. Written by : Corrina Leblond - aka migraine sufferer
