Headache

I have a headache
The noises become too loud to bare
I shut them out but they reappear
Oh! The pain I feel
Racing a million miles a second; did you hear it?
I’m not worthy of my own love?
I scream at the mirror for what I see
I hear my own whispers taunting me
I have a headache, lay me down
Turn the music up loud to drown out the sound
I have a headache, can’t you see?
I ask my reflection as it laughs at me
My head hurts
