The Tunnel

A Poem About Migraines

By Karen LaRuePublished 4 years ago • 1 min read

Walking through the tunnel

Such brightness on all sides

It's swirling all around me

No place to run and hide

My head starts its pounding

Reality it slides

I can't see my shadow

The whole things gone to shit

Is life in this bottle

I might be done with it

What path is this before me

With patterns on the ground

Do I consecrate it

Or leave it still unfound

Dragons fly overhead

The fire is a sound

I can't see my shadow

The whole things gone to shit

Is life in this bottle

I might be done with it

My senses start to fade

Such a sweet relief

Synapses so unaided

The pain is such a thief

Monthly serenaded

You've got to have belief

I can't see my shadow

The whole things gone to shit

Is life in this bottle

I might be done with it
