6/4/08 Very Glad Rag

it always comes out wrong
when I try to be all empowered
or try too hard to be too happy
about menstruation

I don't want anyone to be sad
or wonder what they're doing wrong
when it is very uncomfortable or when
they aren't especially happy about it

because I'm not always all that happy
unless resignation is happiness or
doing your best is happiness but
neither of those very often is

ya so I just had a full blown one, and after months and months of not, it sucked. it hurt. it made me tired. i cried. i yelled. i cleaned a little frantically. i created more trash for the landfill. then it was over and i thought...that wasn't so bad; that wasn't as long as i had anticipated.
