My Periods Are Miracles
<h4><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>As a woman I have always been curious about my periods. </sub></strong></span></h4><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>About how they arrive, how they announce themselves and how they demand to be felt. </sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>How i handle it. The pain, fatigue.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>The sudden tenderness in your breasts- slightly sore, fuller and heavier. Extra cravings for food.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>The severe waist pain that feels as though giants hands are gripping you tightly, pulling from the inside.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>The vagina pain.....oops.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub><br/></sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>And that sharp unforgiven pain in the butt, so sudden and intense that strikes and leaves you dead while randomly going about your day's activity.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>I don't know how it happens, but anytime that ass holes pain strikes,I die. </sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub><br/></sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>One minute you are admiring your face and how smooth it is, the next minute you are having a pimple break, reminding you your periods are around the corner, or maybe they are here already. I empathize with the girls who are devoted to doing skincare, the moment their Period arrives it takes them back to square one.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub><br/></sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>My Periods are miracles.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>Because one day you are wearing a fitted top and admiring your flat tummy- feeling confident. And boom your period arrives and leaves you bloated- not dramatically but noticeable. You do not need a mirror to confirm it. The bloating feels different. You just know it.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>How can I forget the girls who experience it so intensely they vomit, grow weak, and end up on drips. Their strength is rarely acknowledged, yet it should be honoured. </sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>Prior to this time, a week before- you feel weak. Your body begins to protest. Everything pisses you off. </sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>Why is the sky blue?. </sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>You just start to cry because the sun shone by 8am. </sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>One of multiple symptoms I have here.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>These periods come and demand that you fix some sort of stuff in-between your legs. </sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>Yes, they are uncomfortable but you don't have a choice. </sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>They call it pads. Do you know it? You wear it for at least 3-7 days.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>But it is never just about wearing them and moving on with your life. </sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub><br/></sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>Your consciousness and anxiety increases to 70%. Aware that the pad you wore a few hours ago is full, and that you must change it at least 3 times a day to feel clean and comfortable. If you don't do this, you face the consequences and get stained, fingers pointing, you would feel ashamed and silly boys would stare with disgust like the woman with the issue of blood in the Bible.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>Then, there are good girls - the ones who would quickly rush to cover you up and protect you from the eyes of others.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>Get you a pad. Make sure you are perfectly okay and clean before letting you </sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>They call them- GIRL'S GIRL.♡♡</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>Do you know them?.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>But it's not your fault, YOUR BODY IS JUST BEING BODY, SO WHY SHY?.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>You are conscious of how you sleep. </sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>On what side, in what position, how long, how comfortable?.....</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>Peradventure you let sleep take a hold of you, </sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>By dawn you'd run off the bed as fast as a cheetah, but....</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>get ready to do some laundry.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>You'll be angry when you wake up and find your bed stained with your precious blood.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>A part of you would blame yourself for dozing too deep.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>Another part would hate you for that moment.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>Another part would comfort you to know it's not your fault.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>You'd feel lazy that morning.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>But you'll wash it anyways. </sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub><br/></sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>On these days, sometimes you need a hug from your man, but please he shouldn't touch you.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>You need attention, but please he shouldn't talk to you.</sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>You need his presence, but please you don't want to see him on yellow trousers and a black top. </sub></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 7.875px;"><strong><sub>You need to lay on his shoulders, but his breath shouldn't be too loud.
