Tonight I was born
tomorrow I die
until that time comes
I shall continue to fly

Removing the thorn
from within my side
last night I was born
this morning I died

I do believe the title explains it all

Good job, POA.  You know what you are doing, no question about that, but maybe the last line of stanza 1 should be two lines?  
Just a thought.

I liked the poem and i agree with Allan that the last line of the first stanza might work better as two lines.

Good poem. I can relate to what your talking about and they are a major pain. Oh, the consequences of having fun...

Owwww *clutches her head*  
A pain that is all too familiar. I'll let you in on a little secret. Drink exactly 4 glasses of water WHILE you're wasted then in the morning eat some cold pizza or hash browns from McDonalds. It always works.  

Thanks for the memories in this piece.

lol @ anonymousfemale.  Sounds like you've been there many times before...
POA, nice job.  This is pretty short, but very good.  I'll agree with Allan in that you know what you're doing.  Nice job.

Umm the demon drink. Haha... I would certainly suggest drinking lots of water and throwing up is good way to not to get a hangover although it doesn't always work. You have my sympathy and great poem by the way.

NIcely done here. I enjoyed this one.
*I* have never taken a sip of alcohol....so I have no idea what yer talkin about  

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
