Plugs please

My head starts pounding as this week sets in,

as the swelling hits me, I am in pain.

I feel the pressure inside of my soul,

each movement harder than before.

Emotions hit me in all that I see,

my heart can’t take it but once a month.

All that I hear is magnified in my ears,

as screaming children keep me up at night.

I eat crackers like crazy and chocolate is so great,

no Motrin to take away these feelings I feel.

When the rain falls down my world falls apart,

I just want to rest before I lose my mind.

Don’t touch me if you want to live through the day,

get me my coffee before another word is said.

I don’t want to watch this movie again,

please stop pulling on my clothes.

If you truly love me than please let me go,

as lights hurt my eyes your touch burns my skin.

I do need a few days to come out of this hell,

and if you knew what was good for you, you’d walk away.

I feel the blood coming so honey if you don’t mind,

pick me up some tampons before I make a bloody mess.
