This pain in my head,

Continually pounding,

Making me wish that I was dead.

Where did this pain come from, I don’t know.

I wish something would just let go,

And let the blood flow.

How can I go on?

When I can’t even feel my feet touch the ground.

I don’t know how I’ll deal with this pain,

And look, now it’s starting to get worse again.
