Everyday
it seems as though
another headache forms to
taint my day,
blur my vision,
add dizziness to my being,
and
follow me all day.
Every
single
day.
A headache forms,
clouding my thoughts,
silencing my voice.
An invisible hammer,
banging on my temples,
breaking down walls instead of
building them up.
My skull,
pulverized by the feeling of
an intense beating
surrounding my brain in an
impenetrable cage,
my concious unable to
rise up to fame
and defeat the monster
enslaving my brain.
I wake up to headaches
and I go to sleep to headaches-
they just don't seem to
want to go away,
like my body is a hostess and they
guests who have
overstayed their welcome.
It's not like
they were welcome in the first place.
Yet,
here I am,
with a headache again,
a pain between my eyes,
a suffering in my skull,
a sight that sometimes blurs,
and a girl who hides it all,
trying in vain not to let it show.
But...
it shows.
Oh yes,
it shows.
For the girl's father knows
but knows not of the knows to
make it all stop,
to relieve his daughter of her foes.
The girl woke up late,
about 1:30PM,
a headache already formed,
staying throughout the day.
At four she finally ate,
despite not being hungry,
only eating because she thought
it would help
with the headache.
For a second,
it did.
Eating dulled the pain,
but now it is back full force,
taking its toll on her brain.
Food doesn't help,
the music is all in vain,
nothing can help her brain,
nothing she thinks.
Either way,
things still must be done,
studying must come in the day,
for the girls has quizzes,
homework, and chores-
all things needed to be done,
regardless of the pain she must succumb.

No, the song didn't help. At all.
