PMS

PMS is like a bad trip,
a trick where the negative of the world’s been flipped.
So black is white and white is black
It makes no sense when I look back
how yesterday it all seemed fine
and all that's changed is a little time.
I know when it’s coming, it's my monthly fate
but even my most rational mind can’t escape.
It is venom flowing through these veins,
shards of glass that once were brains.
Irrational thoughts rattle my bones
and hoist me off my mighty throne.
It’s a knife for a tongue and a sword at a the hip.
I grow horns and a tail to use as a whip!
If I was a location I would surely leave,
only my friend Mary Jane brings reprieve.
It’s the Thursday of an A.F.W
and I’m eyeing off the wine for the red-wine-jus.
People are thinking; what is wrong with this human?
I’ll tell them; it’s my hormones, are you f*****g stupid?!
I’m totally utterly sick of my self too,
I can’t even imagine what it’s like to be you.
I’ll cry ‘cause the radio played a sad song,
growl at the dog ‘cause he looked at me wrong.
Then I’ll feel guilty for being a b***h
a s****y, emotional wreck of a witch.
Tomorrow I’ll wake and the penance I’ll pay
for being an absolute c**t today
is a kilo on the scales from all the crap that I ate,
some sorrys to say and a belly ache.

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Having been spayed at age 20, I was blessed to not have this curse all my life, but you're bringing it back loud & clear with tons of details I'd quite forgotten! *wink! wink!* I love the way your poem starts out a little milder & then ramps up & up & up, until you're cursing at the end. Your hostilities & profanities are well-done with a bit of a tongue-in-cheek exaggeration & sense of humor, which makes this rant feel like a fun bit of slapping around! (((HUGS))) fondly, Margie

Haha I’m glad you got a giggle out of it. It’s a choice between laughter and tears sometimes, may as well be laughter....Although, my family may disagree!
