I had such plans

I've had migraines since I was 12 and thought I would be able to do so much with my life. That didn't happen.

I had such plans
I was going to be a scientist
I was going to make a difference
But this pain got in the way

I had such plans
I was going to finish college
I was going to learn about the world
But this pain got in the way

I had such plans
I was going to visit with my friends
I was going to enjoy myself
But this pain got in the way

I had such plans
I was going to do my laundry
I was going to have a clean house
But this pain got in the way

I had such plans
I was going to get out of bed
I was going to accomplish Something
But this pain got in the way.
