Headache
so much is going on inside my head
this relentless thrashing
the hard beating
the insufferable thumps
circling in motions around my skull
the stress i hold is a terrible burden
on my outer appearance
the body that’s supposed to hold the image
of independence, strength, happiness
yet i feel none of these right now
as the gnawing thunders through my mind
i don’t know to fix it
i’m told time will
‘give yourself time to understand
to heal, to figure it out, to turn weakness into strength’
but what if i don’t have time
or i don’t want time
i just want the noise in my head to end.
