''You will feel better after you sleep'' <br />'Don't worry a little rest will make you right as rain' <br /> <br />They do not understand the pain. <br />My mind is plagued and my neck is stiff with ache. <br />How can I sleep! ? <br /> <br />I am afraid to close my eyes. <br />Will I see the squirrels play? <br />Will I see again the swing my father made me in the oak tree? <br /> <br />I kneel and pray like mother taught me because she doesn't understand the pain. <br /> <br />Calm and peace surround me. <br />But still, there is pounding in my ears. And I long to hear the trumpet call <br />as I surrender unto sleep.<br /><br />Zora Mamabolo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/migraine-8/
