Migraine poetry
This isn't my poem. I got it off the migraine page poetry section. There's a whole section on this website that has poetry and art in it. Take a look
My Migraine Poem
by Susan
Sit down I need to tell you something
Before we get too involved.
You need to know that I have a problem.
No.. I don't drink
I don't have any STD's
Never smoked a day in my life.
No criminal record.
I have pain.
Extreme pain unlike anything you have likely seen before.
It just happens -
It happens a lot.
It's in my head and it takes over.
"Ah" you say " is that all?"
"We can get through this.. "
"I thought it was something serious"
When you saw the first really bad one.
You thought I was faking
Accused me of being addicted to the pain meds
You turned away.
It was ugly
I can't go to concerts with you.
I can't eat your mothers cranberry sauce
I am afraid to leave the house without meds
I don't want to join any clubs
I'll just disappoint you
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Years go by
You discover we can't get through it
You leave me
It's too much for you
"If you just would try harder" - you say
"It's not like you have cancer"
"I know people who are blind and go to parties"
"You don't try hard enough"
"You are holding me back"
I understand
Because I'd like to leave me too.
I don't blame you.
If I could find someone else
Who is more fun
I'd do the same.
