That Which Lurks Within
I carry dark things within me
They lurk and hover out of sight
I carry dark things within me
And then within me ignite
Pulsating agony within me
Pain that slumbers, twists and turns;
Pulsating agony within me
Wakes and claws and burns.
I cannot shed this weight within me,
pulling me into the ground.
I cannot shed this weight you see,
crushing me without a sound
Migraine Monster
Insidious creeping beast,
Hovering in the edges of my mind
It’s going to make me its feast;
Digging in, groans and mined
Blinding sharp creature
finding all the hard edges of my brain
It is the breaker;
Feeding on the splinters of my pain
My monster. My Bane.
