Dancing on the Dagger’s Edge

This poem is about the struggle of living with chronic migraines.

Dancing on the Dagger’s Edge

 

 

Dance on the dagger’s edge

Feel the slice; cut but not slain

Dance on the dagger’s edge

Prick every nerve with fiery pain

 

Cut on the dagger’s blade

Fight the battle; war but no victory

Cut on the dagger’s blade

Struggle to survive with no mercy

 

Stabbed by the dagger’s point

Suffer the agony; pain but no bloodshed.

Stabbed by the dagger’s point

I am slain but not bled.
