I Don’t Have to Hold It All Migraine Medicine — Lyrics

🕯 I Don’t Have to Hold It All

Migraine Medicine – Original Lyrics by Loui Crow

🌑 The Clamp

My head hurts
because I’m holding too much.
Too many “yeses” I didn’t mean.
Too many silences where a scream should’ve been.

My smile stayed
when my boundaries broke.
This migraine is the only voice I didn’t choke.

🌕 The Message

This is not weakness.
This is not shame.
This is a spell—
called by my name.

Pressure is a prayer
the body had to speak.
And now I listen.
And now I release.

(Affirmation chant):
It’s safe to rest.
It’s safe to stop.
I don’t have to hold it all.
I don’t have to hold it all.

🔥 The Blueprint

I was the peacekeeper.
The over-thinker.
The emotional sponge.

I learned to stay quiet
so no one else would break.
I controlled myself
so they couldn’t take control.

But now the pain speaks louder
than my performance.
And I hear it.
And I bless it.
And I stop.

🕯 The Body Speaks

A migraine isn’t madness.
It’s precision.

It’s the nervous system screaming
what the mouth couldn’t say.

This is not drama.
This is not “too sensitive.”
This is survival
locked behind my eyes.

(Whispered affirmations):
I forgive myself for trying so hard.
I release the need to be perfect.
I am allowed to be soft.
I am allowed to stop.

🌬 The Release

My body is brilliant.
My pain is a prayer.
I listen now.
I care now.
I breathe,
and the pressure lifts.

(Final loop chant):
It’s safe to rest.
It’s safe to speak.
It’s safe to be me.

✍️ About This Song

“I Don’t Have to Hold It All” is migraine medicine for the ones who’ve held too much, too long.
The ones who smiled when they should’ve screamed.
The ones whose silence turned into pressure—then pain.

This track isn’t soft. It’s sacred. It names the body’s rebellion for what it is: survival.
It honors migraines, shutdowns, and collapses as holy messages—not malfunctions.

Built with breath, chant, and body-based truth, this song gives your pain a voice—and gives your system permission to stop performing.
It was written from the jaw-clenched hush that always begged to be heard.
Now it is.
