    Poem Commentary

    I pray you have no idea what I am talking about!

    Bondage for all

    Bondage for all

     

    Pain; yes, but that is where it starts, pain

    I hear giving birth is pain

    Gall stones are pain

    To be shot stabbed that is pain

    I wish I had only pain

    I do not think there is a human word for it

    No, you can only try to describe it

    Unseen, unheard, undetectable from the out side

    It isolates you, may take your sight and sound

    No one can help, your all alone

    You cannot run from it as you cannot run

    So you try to fight while laying down

    Take the meds your doctor gives and over the counter pills don’t be shy

    It's still there inside your head

    Caffeine, alcohol, still by my side

    The war rages on, fight some more

    Vomiting violently convulsed on the floor

    Ice your brain; freeze your skull, so cold you can’t feel hell

    You win you win relief is here, till then the cold it disappeared

    The battles lost you give in, surrender, surrender but it does not give in

    You pull at your hair to rip at its core

    Scrap through the skull blood and tears your face a wreck filled with despair

    You tried it all, there is nothing left, now you are desperate for it to end

    The thing you feared the worst of all, violent to self just to end it all

    So wall meets head then the floor, still can stand so once more

    Harder, faster, again and again

    White, weightless calm, you hit the floor

    Does it end here?

    Perhaps

    Then again; it may be angered when you wake from your nap

    Does it, or this; have a name you can call

    Demon, monster, hell, yes to some

    Migraine

    they call it

    Bondage for all!

    I've heard of how debilitating migraines can be. Never actually knew anyone who experienced them. You certainly describe a vividly agonizing episode, and I very much hope you, very soon, find quick and permanent relief.

    Great write RJK, unless you have had mrigranes or know someone who soes suffer with them, you have know idea of the true pain and suffering. You did a great describing not only the pain, but everything that is associated with these monster headaches. Thanks for sharing!!!!! Mary
