Medicine by Guster
Into the maze
Enter the medicine handed down
Within these veins
Bleeding with apathy till it drowns
No more to gain
Needing the ugliness that surrounds
Return again
Caught in the medicine handed down
Am I your charity?
For you to look so kind?
But your aim is not quite clear
It’s better if you leave in quiet
Is this mood frightening?
And who are you sometimes?
Don’t try and rescue me
Go save someone else
I’m far past done
Gasping, calling
I saw I’m all alone
Grasping, crawling
Is this not what you had planned?
Oh I’m all alone
Go on hero
You’re faking no one, not today
Stop this you’re scaring me
Don’t even know you now
Trying to rescue me
Go save someone else
I’m way past gone
Into the maze
- It just describes everything i feel when I am in pain.

Migraine Awareness Month Blogging Challenge #4: “Just shoot me now!”
Whats the best tip you can offer others for having some summer fun despite Migraines?
Well, alot of the time time my motto is ‘screw it’ I know doing it (amusement park, beach, running, swimming, concert ect.) will make me regret it in the morning (or later in the day) but a girls gotta have some fun!
For when having the next day wasted isn’t an option, I’ve learned to do things the way I can do it. modifications are your best friend, and make sure the people you are with understand.
And ALWAYS have your meds!
note-i missed a couple days due to bad migraines (how ironic) but hopefully i will get back to them in the future.
