Headaches

Sunshine brings headaches

Joy brings high stakes

Nothing feels right

But everything brings light

Darkness has vanished

Seemingly banished

At least, until it gets late

So that remains my fate

At night my pain appears

My sadness and all of my fears

It’s sudden and almost crippling

As the pain begins to start rippling

Bigger as time goes on

Until the break of dawn

When sunshine appears again

Forced into my vein

But then I feel okay

And I listen to what you say

You tell me that it’s alright

And I’m okay until the night

Slowly the pattern becomes my reality

A pull on my life, almost like gravity

I feel like this life might start to be normal

That slowly I’ll start to be less abnormal

The headaches fade

I’m less afraid

But nothing is quite like before

Somehow I love life more

And still most nights when the sun fades away

I long await the arrival of day

Without my sunshine, I’m left like before

Sad and alone, Hopeless and sore

Sunshine brings nighttime

And days become rhyme

Patience brings laughter

And who cares what comes after
