Pains Inside My head

I woke up one day
With pains inside my head
I blamed it on the way I slept
As I got up from my bed
But the same thing happened the next day
And the next day after that 
And all the days after
Until one day I hit a mat
I woke up to the realization 
That what had happened to me then
Was that I had another seizure
And nothing would be the same again
I had tried to warn them
But nothing did come out
And now I'm still complaining 
While people think I pout
 "It's in your head, my darling"
And although that may be true
It doesn't change the fact
That it still hurts to speak to you
I'm hiding all this pain from you
More than you'd ever think
Just look into my teary eyes 
As I look up high and blink

An Introverted Heart

Changing from being an introvert
Is like trying to rewire your head
Forcing yourself to thrive off things
That make your brain feel dead
It's telling yourself to talk some more
When it's the last thing on your mind
It's giving your self poison
And telling yourself you need it to be fine
It's making a new person
From the remnants of the old
And making things you want to leave
Into a makeshift home

Unpack

He sat me in a chair that day
In the corner of the room
I did not know what he'd planned to say
Although he was going to tell me soon
I sat looking in his eyes
With pain and joy and fear
As he told me words that I needed said
But did not want to hear
And hidden in the message
Were words that made me cry
They were the happy sort of tears
But he did not see them pass my eye
And he told me that he knew it
He knew what he had done
He told me the story that I thought I knew
An adventure minus fun
He apologized for hurting me
And said he had seen my look way back
Before I had come to know him
And decided to unpack
He was the first person to mention this to me
My life a year ago
I did not know what to say
About the truth I thought he didn't know
And then he told me that he loved me
I did not say it back
Although that doesn't mean I don't
But I still need to unpack

Open Book

And she woke to realize
She really was an open book
All the chapters she'd tried to hide
Were really screaming "look!"
The secrets she had buried inside
Were released out from herself
All the things she thought were secret
Proved to be showcased on her shelf

The Sun Kissed Girl

She smiled like the sun was hitting her face
But it was shining a tad too bright
She wasn't fully able to embrace the felling
Because it just wasn't quite right
And every thing was tainted orange to her
Like a golden sun kissed glow
And it seemed to make everything a little bit better
But it looks different from what other people know
And she walked to the beat of a different drum
With a different time to step
And it was great to stand out a little
But when others took a stroll, she lept
And she wasn't quite a person
People seemed to function in a different way
She was happy just being her
But she didn't know what to say
But you know, she could still function
It just took a little bit more work
 And she was what no one else could be
So that was her sun kissed perk

A Stormy Migraine Morning

And I woke up buzzing
With so much pain running through my veins
that I could no longer feel
Well, that's not exactly true.
The pain just moved so fast that I was a bumble bee
Somehow buzzing despite the fact that science told me
I could not

And I woke up without sight
With the terrifying feeling
that someone had turned out the lights in my room
but the lights were only out in my head
But I guess this isn't exactly true.
I could see until I stood
Then, things became flashes
Here
There
A reminder of reality
Then nothing

Unknown Title

Save yourself my darling
Just leave me in the past
For the truth is inevitable
We will never last
So run away from me
Go find someone to be with
You and I are old enemies
And I have nothing to give
