Let me Bleed

I bleed every other month.

My body goes through a million sensations at once.

I don't know how am I feeling?

I don't know if my head aches or my stomach cramps

I want to lay on my bed all day long

I want to cry over cartoons

I want to eat all the ice cream in the world

I want to be just in my panties, undisturbed.

But, this lives only in my writings,

For I have to suck it all up like I don't bleed.

God forbid if you see a stain on my white skirt.

I promise it is not my fault.

I will bear your child one day,

So please let me bleed with pride

Buy me pads if I want

Kiss me and lay beside me

Make me bleed a little happy this time.
