When I Say

When I Say

When I say my head hurts

I don’t mean a headache

Or a migraine

No, that pain would be welcome

I would much rather it sting

And pound

Than this terrible feeling

This feeling of dread

When I say my head hurts

I am talking about my brain rotting

From the inside out

And leaving me numb

I would much rather it sting

Rather feel the pain

Than this terribly awful

Simply crisis loaded feeling
