the lights
they hurt, goshwhyisitsobright
the lights
i close my eyes
and take a deep breath.
one
two
three
i open them and the pain subsides
my coworker laughs, and thereitgoesagain
ouch
this really sucks
some water
some water might help
man, my shoulders hurt
and that sharp pain
pinching the nerves
in my brain
what else can i do?
even when i sit
the pain lurks all the same
crash!
someone drops a pan
pleasedon'tdothatagain
this medicine isn't working
the sounds are tooloud
the lights are toobright
the smells are toostrong
i just want to go home
and sleep
and i'll try again
tomorrow
tension headache. need i say more?
