Pms

It’s that time of month again
Everyone scrambling and afraid
Scattering numerous footsteps
Like pouring down summer rain

Walking terrified on eggshells
Away they do turn
Finding a much safer haven
From past experience they’ve learned

Boarding themselves in their rooms
Their doors closed and securely locked
Hoping they have enough nourishment
Plenty of food and water has been stocked

Mom is not her usual self again
A week of hiding we can surely do
Waiting for the symptoms to dissipate
For positive signs of a newly debut
