Headache

Awake. 3 am. Dark. Silent.

Head. Throbbing. Painful.

Thoughts. Loud. Scary.


Will this pain subside? Will These thoughts subside?


The dream that jerked me into consciousness is now fading away. My head, eyes, ears, all full of pain. I reach for water to quench my thirst. The rush of pain as I sit up to drink. What was I dreaming? Why does my head hurt so bad?


An hour later. The pain is worse! One Tylenol. Hate taking pharmaceuticals. This pain is too much to tolerate.


Laying here in the dark, hoping the pain subsides. Listening to the outside awakening around me. Birds and breezes. Slivers of sun, soft light starts to come through.


Will this pain subside? Will These thoughts subside?


Awake. Dawn. Life outside calls.

Head. Throbbing. Painful.

Thoughts. Loud. Scary.
