That Time of Month

I'm Not Being Over Dramatic

Trauma

Every month

Hurting, cramping, and bloody

Ptsd from all the times I threw up

Tried this, tried that

It's a pain I never get used to

Hey it's my poem, I can complain if I want

The doctor told me the smaller you are the more pain you'll get

Well ain't that some bullsh*t

So here I am stuck in bed

While being told that I have to learn to work through it instead

Why does the pain travel down my legs?

I tried every medicine the drugstore had

But only for 2 seconds, the drug will last

I lay on towels, because like a child I wet the bed, but with blood instead

I know this is a TMI

But I had to write it before I started to cry

You decided to continue to read it

So, thank you

And please don't comment nothing rude

I'm kinda in a bad mood
