The Devil That Lives Within (My Migraine Story)
May 25, 2016
A presence hides itself behind my head
Sweet silence is swept from me with a ring
I beg to stop this hell I’ve come to dread
The devil is released that lives within
His fork impales itself inside my eye
I feel the crimson although nothing's there
Demented thoughts consume my soul and mind
The rivers flood and leave me with no air
I feel my face begin to burn and melt,
The ringing turns into a soulless scream,
I beg, I cry for someone to come help,
To save me from this never ending dream
The devil quits, the devil’s had his way
He hides himself to come another day

I suffer from cluster headaches and migraines. They're excruciatingly painful and something I live with everyday. I wanted to write a sonnet about my experience to show people what it's like to live with something like this.
