What I Shouldn't Have Searched

A headache whispered warnings in the night,

a flicker of fear caught in my fright.

So I grabbed my phone, drew closer the light,

and searched through the panic for answers despite.


Google lays bare all the fears that conspire,

a cascade of symptoms, each heavier, higher.

I found my worst worries all stitched up in code,

a tempest of knowledge, a dark winding road.
