NMAM, Day 6

Migraine Awareness Month #6: Name That Tune! Choose a theme song for Migraine disease or your headache disorder.

At first I thought this prompt was going to be impossible for me. A song about migraines? I even googled "headache song". Then, a sudden inspiration hit. I can't explain it, but I suddenly thought of a song that perfectly sums up my feelings towards my migraines, and well, pretty much everything and everyone in my life. It's not exactly a headache song, but it's everything I'd sing to my migraines, if they were receptive to song.


"You Don't Own Me" by Lesley Gore

You don't own me, I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me, don't say I can't go with other boys

And don't tell me what to do
And don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display, 'cause

You don't own me, don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me, don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay

Oh, I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you

I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please

A-a-a-nd don't tell me what to do
Oh-h-h-h don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display

I don't tell you what to say
Oh-h-h-h don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you

I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
