Menopause

I see dark light in the sun
I will kick you in the boll#cks if you say ‘hey hun’
I don’t know, so don’t fu#king ask!
My body seems to be in several parts
Emotionally I’m an exploding star
Don’t you dare tell me how you are
I feel mad, I feel insane!
Don’t push me or I will maim!
I can’t feel calm I can’t feel still!
This is more, so much more than being ill!!
You’re a man, you’ll never understand!
My body’s changing and it’s affecting my mind.
This is not like you say a pause-from-men! 
Your a man, if this happened to you… there’d be a vaccine, just like the flu!

Hilarious, and so true. Been there and it was like living with the Taliban. Great write.
