Migraine

Am I the only one I know

Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?

Shadows will scream that I'm alone

lone

lone

I-I-I-I've got a migraine

And my pain will range from up

down

and sideways

Thank God it's Friday 'cause Fridays will always

Be better than Sundays 'cause Sundays are my suicide days

I don't know why they always seem so dismal

Thunderstorms

clouds

snow

and a slight drizzle

Whether it's the weather or the letters by my bed

Sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head

Let it be said what the headache represents

It's me defending in suspense

it's me suspended in a defenseless test

Being tested by a ruthless examinant

That's represented best by my depress…;

…;ing thoughts

I do not have writer's block

my writer just hates the clock

It will not let me sleep

I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead

And sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head

Am I the only one I know

Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?

Shadows will scream that I'm alone

But I know we've made it this far

kid

I am not as fine as I seem

pardon

Me for yelling

I'm telling you green

gardens

Are not what's growing in my psyche

it's a different me

A difficult beast feasting on burnt down trees

Freeze frame please

let me paint a mental picture portrait

Something you won't forget

it's all about my forehead

And how it is a door that holds back contents

That make Pandora's Box's contents look nonviolent

Behind my eyelids are islands of violence

My mind's shipwrecked

this is the only land my mind could

Find

I did not know it was such a violent island

Full of tidal waves

suicidal crazed lions

They're trying to eat me

blood running down their chin

And I know that I can fight or I can let the lion win

I begin to assemble what weapons I can find

'Cause sometimes to stay alive you got to kill your mind

Am I the only one I know

Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?

Shadows will scream that I'm alone

But I know we've made it this far

kid

And I will say that we should take a day to break away

From all the pain our brain has made

The game is not played alone

And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it

And keep it frozen and know that

Life has a hopeful undertone

And I will say that we should take a day to break away

From all the pain our brain has made

The game is not played alone

And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it

And keep it frozen and know that

Life has a hopeful undertone

Am I the only one I know

Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?

Shadows will scream that I'm alone

But I know we've made it this far

kid

Made it this far

Made it this
