The Cure Is Worse Than The Pain

The Cure Is Worse Than The Pain

A Poem by therisa
"

About Migraine headaches and the medication, I have to take to ease the pain.

"
I feel the hammer
Pounding
Against my skull
As the pain skyrockets
Into outer space.

Wondering
When will it ever stop
Without the need
Of some pharmacological aid
Found inside a pill bottle.

Whose toxic side-effects
Could destroy my stomach
If not dose with lots of water
And food too.

Sigh
Please someone
Just knock me
Out.

Is that asking
Too much
From a person?

Oh well.
