Uterus-Day Three

It's day three,

Still my life on hold,

My appetite missing

And my body feeling numb.

I'm exhausted, from doing nothing but feeling the pain,

The abdominal pain that makes you stand in your tracks,

Confused on what to do or where to go,

To sit or to stand, to walk or to crawl,

It's that inner pain that makes you accept even death in any of it's forms

As long as it liberates you from the pain.

It's day three of my cycle,

My life still on standstill,

Can't go to class or work.

As I feel drowsy and sleep overcomes me,

Still I'm conscious to know that tomorrow is day four

And I have to go through this again,

I feel the pain of tomorrow already on my back.

I still feel embarrassed, guilty about it,

But what to do when nature made my uterus this way,

And still every month I hope for a happy 🌸
