“Please, Please, Please just leave me be”

A tom-tom drum beats in my head
Drumsticks ricocheting with no end
Searing with a thunderous roar
Until I feel like saying no more

No more incessant rapping noise
No more throbbing tom-tom head
No more sickening fever pitch

No more, no more
A thousand times no more

Cease and desist, I beg of you
Just leave me be, pretty please
at least grant me a moments peace
Please, please leave you monstrous beast

For you taunt and torment me
For far too long
And at the end of the day…

All I have to say is
‘Please, Please, Please just leave me be.’

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm glad you enjoyed my diddy on headaches-the little buggers that they are. I'm surprised it came out as well as it did all things considered (ie: I had a migrane during its construction *rolls eyes*.
