I Am Pain!
I AM PAIN!
Blinding, crushing, intolerable.
I make you beg for relief from the
sledgehammer that’s pounding
on your scull.
I make you lay in a dark room,
eyes closed, praying you don’t
retch from the intense agony
going on inside your head.
I am a soldier, using weapons
of light against you. The more
I let in the harder it becomes
to bring darkness upon me.
I cannot be defeated quickly,
for the painkillers you use
against me are slow to react and
no match for the hurt I inflict.
You have no recourse but to
surrender, as movement and
sound is your nemesis, making
it impossible to fight me.
You realize that the passing
of time is your only ally, and
if you wait long enough you
will eventually defeat me.
This defeat will only come
After I’ve made you endure
what seems like an endless
battle of torture and pain.
This time you’ve won, but I will
return to fight another day. Only I
know when and where my next attack
will be for I AM A MIGRAINE and
I AM PAIN!
