Headache of All Headaches

by BornAgainWriter   Mar 10, 2009


I woke up this morning forgetting where I was,
And that's when I started thinking to myself,
The last time that had happened to me I remember,
I was with my dad in Brookeville, Indiana of course.

I have a massive headache, and I don't know why,
All I know is I just wish it'd go find someone else,
I almost cried waking up this morning, tuesday-
Yet again, I don't even have a simple reason why.

Straightening my hair was hard work as well,
I can't remember the last time I dreaded doing that,
I felt lazy, drained and so tired I could've slept longer,
I almost fell asleep just standing there doing my hair.

Twenty minutes and I'm finally done, looking;
Looking in the mirror and squinting my eyes,
I don't think I could've done a better job today,
Seems like this is the best it's ever been, you know.

I turn the bathroom light out, and found myself dizzy,
The light change is even getting to me, my oh my,
Am I sure this isn't some kind of unexplained dream,
Where nothing is supposed to make a lick of sense?

I look in my closet, trying to find something to wear,
"Oh gosh, what am I going to wear today?"
Talking to out loud, as if there was someone else-
Standing there beside me anxious to reply.

The birds are outside of my window, chirping,
Sometimes I just wish they'd shut up, and go away,
Why do birds always chirp in the morning? Why?
I'm sleepy, I'm confused and my head is hurting.

*Turns off the lights and goes back to sleep*
