Ouch

It really sucks to feel my head in pain
And not know what to do - to want to lie
Low in the dark, listening to rain
And hearing windnotes whistling me by,
But know I must remain awake. I am
Tired to weariness, but cannot tell
The reason for it. So instead I damn
My forehead and its painfulness to hell,
And wish I were asleep when I am not.
It's not a pleasant or an easy way
To be - but now, alas, it's all I've got,
And feels like it is all I'll be today.
Someday I hope I will feel better - then
Perhaps I'll be more purposeful again.
