Upon the rising sun the pain
arrives riding the rays of light. As the painful fog
migraits settling upon my
holiday cheer, like a shadow
monster ready to devour
the hours I cherish.
Upon the arrival of October and November, migraines and cluster headaches come for a visit.
Into the core of my eye drilling deeper over time,
blindness slowly devours
my vision as time beats
with painful rhythms.
An hour passes as the light
breaks through the fog, my
vision is restored as the pain fades away.
Ocular migraines are
nothing compared to
cluster headaches.
I’d rather suffer through the
Ocular migraines than have
a month long battle with a
painful stabbing behind my
right eye.
This is a ocular migraine,
but cluster headaches,
are the most painful hours
of my life.
There’s no treatment nor
cure for headaches and
migraines.
We are forced to suffer through the process.

Today I had a ocular migraine. Ever since the beginning of October I’ve been suffering through headaches and migraines. It’s the season for holiday cheer but also pain for those who suffer from migraines and cluster headaches. At least I don’t have seasonal depression. That would make it harder to deal with my pain. Thank God for my ability to handle this. You have to be strong minded as well as physically prepared. I use to have depression so I understand how it works. If I give into any negative views at this time I will feed the depression, and I don’t like depression. I trained myself to redirect the chemical imbalance that caused my depression. I started breaking free from the chemical imbalance around the age of 23 by the time I was 25 I was free from all the symptoms. It would have taken longer if I didn’t start training at the age of eleven. It’s so much easier to deal with everything without being held back by the depression. I face my fears more often too. Nothing is holding me back from fighting this. I have been through a lot worse than this.
Thank you for reading my poem. Peace and love, my lovely friend. May the Lord’s blessings be with you. Happy holidays. ❣️☮️🕊️
Remember this, this too shall pass. As time has always been moving forward. The future is important but now is more important because it leads to the future. First impressions are more important than second. Because the more you process something the weaker it becomes because the process causes change and change causes aging.
