The Head Aches

The Head Aches came again, as my sanity slipped away...
Ev'ry night these terrors leave me limp and lame
They sit in shadows shouting, degrading my name
They crawl through the crevices, they will never set me free
They hover through my mind, They are overpowering me

These foul creatures, are descendents of hell
These pitiful sorrow filled souls,  whisper to me, tauntingly
"You are of us, You shall always be in view
You cannot escape... for We are You"

I deny this madness, I shout for sanctuary
I clasp my hands in prayer, I plead ardorly, arbitrarily
But still They taunt and haunt, they will not abate
"You are wicked, You deserve such a fate"
Covering my ears, I silently scream as still they shrill
"You are of us, You shall always be in view
You cannot escape... for We are You"


Then a light shines, as a Savior descends
"This destiny, it need not be thine"
My providence, an Angel magnificent...
A Seraph to navigate, celestial and kind
Dare I reach... is this faithfulness mine?

It takes my hand, I rise from my abyss
The Head Aches remain, still tittering their lament
"You are of Us, You can have no repent"
"You are of us, You shall always be in view
You cannot escape... for We are You"

My Angel smiles and turns to me, praying/saying...
"Do not bend my friend, all can be set free"

Then the Angel smirks, unmasks and asks,
"Who the Hell, are you? You're deranged, strange, a fool"
I beg for absolution, a solution...
But to no avail! I begin to fall, fail...
my soul is shattered, my body broken with regrets
fearful of my past, wallowing in my yets

I lie in wait an eternity, languishing in pain
I cry for an answer, but only evil chants remain
The Head Aches scold me...
"You are of us, Your sanity you'll never restore
This misery you now endure... will be for evermore"

This can't be right, I know there's hope
This cycle of pain, I can no longer cope
I will rise... I know I will break free
I will escape... I know 'tis not my destiny

I spread my arms... and I know I'll fly

I leap... I awake, with ache ...I weep

I CRY, I DIE!

    The rhyming of this was a great addition to this written work of art. It was very torturing and ominous. It provides the relief of false hope, and the ending was remarkable!
    Thanks for entering this in the contest and good luck
    Best of wishes

    Ah another trophy winner in July....ah yes "My soul is shattered, my body broken with regrets"

    Regrets? I've had a few......." Sinatra said it, didn't he....but I have had to let go of regrets...they were becoming too heavy to carry and I was having a hard time getting on with it....
