Headache

I've been neglecting my blog. I feel bad.

I accidentally threw out the original poem in a school-is-out-must-throw-all-notes-away frenzy. So here we have my remake, inspired by my Health teacher talking about conflicting drugs in the body. The words were rumbling around in my head for hours.

There’s a civil war brewing inside my brain

Like fiery tongues licking at my temples

Conflicting, convulsing, consuming, contracting

Charge! Fight! Retreat! Retreat!

There’s a civil war raging inside my skull

I’ll take this pill to stop the battle

Put up your white flags

If only for a little while
