I awake to the day and get out of bed.

I grown to the throbbing pain in my head.


“Ow!” I shriek, as I begin to walk,

“You okay?” My mom says with a nock.


I know my body is in pain,

But after all, it’s part of the gain.

The author's comments:

This poem was inspired by the pain I am feeling in my body right now. I am not sure what it is, but my joints have been hurting and my head throbs in the morning. I decided to write a poem about my experience.
