Long Night

Of course a long night
followed a long day
of not feeling my best 
with a migraine

Tossing and turning
stomach rolling, 
head pounding
thoughts racing

My body craved rest,
so eventually I slid into 
sleep, but dreamed odd dreams
and woke up exhausted

When the body is weary
the mind is dull, so this
should be an interesting day
but I am taking one step at a time

Awwww! So sorry you suffer! A great job versing a miserable angst yet pulling pain into perseverance! Great job Kathleen and hope you’re on the mend!
