Frontal lobe pain

Traumatic brain injury 
traumatic headaches 
intense frontal pain 
temples are numb 
quietly sends painful 
signals throughout 
my brain sometimes 
my mind searches 
for respites as the 
pain swelling reaches
my optic nerve 
radiating across my 
skull thinking itch 
my bones feel like 
they are biting my brain 
the muscles tense up
throbbing breaking 
down my mood funny 
I can’t focus so I breathe 
pray this pain goes away 

Traumatic brain injury
