Poem

Cramps creeping and crawling, 
an unwelcome reminder.
Why does my body betray 
me like an unfaithful secret lover, 
chaining me to my bed.
When did my uterus become my enemy, 
even the pills offer no sympathy.

As a contradiction of contractions,
crush my organs like sharpened 
shards of glass, these strange 
territories tighten like heavy torture, 
as linings of sore pelvis feel 
a tugging pain of shame.
Unable to distract this 
typhoon-like monstrosity,
I'm a hostage to 
this turbulent intruder.

For those who question body 
frames that do not beam, 
my frowns are not an option,
they are a veil to the weight 
of excruciating fatigue 
that feeds the sanity in me.

There's no 'super human' strength 
left to curl my fingers into 
brass knuckles holding my 
burning edges in peace.

Drained by the cries that 
crack the surface of my womb, 
agitation is expressed 
in begrudging outbursts!
Unexpected and unpredictable 
pain is a cureless curse, 
behaving erratically within 
a finely constructed system of tubes.
Once again, I wonder if 
this shall be the month that
validates my womanhood.
