PMS

June 2006 I am tired No..exhausted My breasts are super swollen And sore They feel like over-ripe watermelons On an August day I'm hungry Yet nothing satisfies me Every time I eat My stomach growls angrily Three hours later I really don't want to eat too much But I am controlled by my hunger Which really pisses me off I'm emotional Fragile Sensitive I am easily hurt And cry often Sometimes for no apparent reason It makes me feel crazy This is NOT me Except it is me For one week out of every month This sucks! I hate that I have to go through this every month AND that my PMS symptoms last longer Than any other female I know Sometimes up to ten days Ten days! Ten days of sore breasts Exhaustion Crying Slight paranoia And feeling like every little thing Is a big deal I console myself by telling myself That it will go away Still, it's not fair! Why did God do this to us? Because Eve tasted something good And offered some to her man? Well hello! She was only doing what came natural As Adam's helper She was supposed to have his back But when she did, she was punished for it Ain't that some shit!? 'Scuse me if I'm just a little pissed off Men have done alot of up fucked up shit throughout history So how come God said they could boss us? Boss this! I may get myself into trouble saying this But why couldn't God have been more fair? Why can't men have PMS and women have periods? Why can't women carry babies and men give birth to them? Actually, I'm not sure how this would happen But God is all-powerful He can work it out I mean, it's 2006 Can we get some equality here before Jesus comes back? Sheesh! No, but seriously.... Men need to know that this PMS shit is real And some women need to quit blaming everything on PMS Or claiming they have PMS when they don't Cuz that just perpetuates the myth That every time a woman is being a bitch It's because she is PMSing I, for one, am NOT a bitch when I'm PMSing Although (and this may come as a shock..) I'm quite capable of being one at other times Men, if your woman is PMSin', be nice to her Treat her gently Don't make fun of her condition Or say anything about her body And whatever you do Don't do anything to make her cry! Cuddle with her Make love to her if she wants it (Some reeeally do!) Be understanding if she doesn't With that said, I'm gonna eat a quesadilla And go to bed!
