Migraine, You Can’t Scare Me
I’ve seen what you can do, the destruction you leave in your wake. As if the physical pain and misery weren’t enough, you pile on hallucinations and other strange symptoms that make me and my friends question our sanity. You break up families, kill friendships, destroy careers, and made us think we are all alone.
You lied. We are not alone. Millions understand exactly what you put us through. They have discovered that you've been lying to them, too. You can't bring us down this time. We're an army that’s 38 million strong and we’re tired of you pushing us around.
So listen up, migraine, because I have a message for you.
You’ve put me through hell, but I’m still here. So go ahead. Do your worst. There’s nothing you can do that I can’t handle.
You say there's no hope, but I know you've been lying.
You thought you could force me into darkness, but I've got a pair of tinted glasses that let me walk in the light.
You thought that pounding my head will stop me from living life, but I've got wearable ice packs that let me face the world in comfort.
You thought you could drive me away with loud noises, but I discovered noise-cancelling headphones and silicone earplugs instead.
