Migraine

I went to one of my blogs today. I found a poem that I wrote about three year ago. I wanted to post it today. For more information on migraines, go to Migraine Aura-Mayo Clinic . I suffer from migraines occasionally. I get the aura where I see blotches and lights. These occur right before my migraine will reveal itself.  They can be horrible.

Migraine 

by Maureen Ucles

I feel a headache

coming on

dizzy

I feel a headache

very strong--

migraine

going to sit

down

Light sensitivity

Lights through a prism

stretching

l blotching
covering parts of
 people's faces

no one can see

but only me

the aura

I know

I

need

rest

prontito

I feel a migraine

creeping in

close my eyes

head down

leave me

be

don't worry

It's something

I have to suffer

through

Monstrous migraine

blaring its ugly 

head

mind numbing

pain

throbbing

migraine

I feel a migraine

taking hold

stomach hurts

minds wailing

when will it end?

rest needed

slumber

calling

This migraine

won't subside

turn down the shades

Tylenol by the handful

eyes closed

damp cloth on

forehead

laying supine

on my bed

Migraine

debilitating

excruciating

Migraine

in the house

behind the eyes

subsiding

slowly

quietly
