Migraine
I wake up in the morning
In my head there is a pain
And I know it is a migraine
It hurts like pouring rain
I take two aspirin
Drink a glass of water too
Hoping the pain will go away
Feels like I was hit in the head with a shoe
Now the hurt is so intense
And the throbbing never ends
A bright light and any noise bother me
I feel I am paying for my sins
I wake up in the morning
The pain is gone
Where it went I don’t know
But off away it runs
I hate it when it comes back
To visit again with me
I hate when it comes back
Wish it would sail out to sea.
