Perfect


Perfect

 

I

Am

Perfect

I don’t mean

To brag

But

 

I am

Perfect

Big chocolate eyes

Great body

Thick eye lashes

Long legs

Plump lips

Honestly

 

I am

4.0 GPA

Loyal boyfriend

Awesome friends

Steady Family

Perfect

Right?

 

Well

I have a

Secret

Shhhhh

 

It’s blood

Girl blood

Not normal

Girl blood

But special

Girl blood

 

Whenever I have

Bad fun

I have

Girl blood

And

Girl gunk

For days

 

At first it only came with

Bad fun

But now

It

Never

Goes

Away

 

UTI medicine

Nope

Yeast Infection Medicine

Nope

More antibiotics

Nope

No more bad fun

Nope

Nothing works

Doctor after Doctor

Phone call after phone call

Ultrasound after ultrasound

Nothing

 

Some people’s monsters are

Other people

Or life situation

Mine lives

in my

reproductive system

How to hide

From something inside

 

It’s not that bad

It could be worse

It’s not that bad

Smelling odd

It’s not that bad

Constantly wearing a

Pad of Girl blood

It’s not that bad

Not feeling pleasure

During

Bad fun

It’s not bad

Ending

Bad Fun

With a horrified boyfriend

Who is afraid to touch

Because of all the

Girl blood

It’s not that bad

Having do deal with

What surprises my monster

Has in store for me for the day

Every

Damn

Time

I build up the courage

To go to the bathroom

And face it

It’s not that bad

Drinking less water

Just to pee less

To not deal with

Other things

Happening

down there

It’s not that bad

Not knowing what’s wrong

It’s not that bad

When every medical professional has

Failed

And doesn’t know

what’s wrong

It’s not that bad

 

I guess that’s the price

To be

Perfect
