migraine

helpless i wait
as it crashes, pounds
and chains me behind
steel barriers
sweeping down to
capture me
with woven strands of pain
it silences begging
whispers behind looming walls
stealing and restrainng
the captive brain to
succumb to waves of agony.

you've captured it well
*shudders*
thank heaven migraines
don't come often for me
all i can do is
crawl off into a dark room
and hibernate

I only have had one, but there was no doubt that it was a migrane.  It brought me to my knees.  Thank you to those who read and understood this poem.

Sounds bad my friend, I have never had one and would not like to try one out, I believe you have described it well. Hope you feel better soon, must be something that can be done with them, I hope for your sake a cure is found.
May tomorrow be a better day my friend.

Sincerely
Rick

Understanding this one all too well, as I've had too many to count. They bring me to my knees, turn my world upside down and inside out for about 12 hours. Hope you don't get them often. But there are some 'triggers' that seem to casue them, and once you identify what triggered yours, you might be able to avoid future attacks.
Nice pain write.
