“I don’t get headaches”
is what I once said,
but that must have jinxed
my poor little head.
For now I get ’em
and they hurt real bad.
They hurt me so much,
I tend to get mad.
I get frustrated
‘cuz out of the blue,
the pain will erupt
and shove its way through.
It’s near my temples
or behind my jaw,
a deep numbing pain
that rubs my nerves raw.
I’m truly sorry,
if I should act rude,
but I blame the pain
for my attitude.
