So very peri…..
Acne
Chin hair
Thinning hair
Dry skin
Oily skin
Itchy skin
Aching hip
Sweating nights
Don’t fucking look at me or chew too loudly
Wild sleep
No sleep
Not hungry and no appetite
Yet damn if I haven’t gained 20lb this week.
Anti anxiety
Anti depressant
Antisocial
And invisible.
But I can pay cash for shoes and therapy
And I can buy my own flowers
So there’s that……

This is a lived poem. Madly. Sadly.
