My Published Poem

Thought I would share one of my published poems. Enjoy and comment.

Oh God--not another painful day

I took Excedrin Migraine but it chose to stay

The aura began thirty minutes ago

No more vomit--that's when I was four

Nausea, sensitivity to sound and light

Confusion, depression, and no appetite

Can't hardly see because I'm so dizzy

Everyday one out of seven Americans stop their activities

My prescription Elavil is making me drowsy

How can one function feeling this lowsy

Time to get the icepack and lie down

Lord give me strength--its starting to pound

ThrobbingPulsatingBuildingInSeverity

Excuse my jibberish--my words are slurring

Have you experienced this excruciating pain

What is it called--a MIGRAINE
