tell me it's complicated without telling me it's complicated
I don't want any more kids
but
I wish my womb would stop
bleeding itself out every month
so I can stop hoping
it's still capable of holding life
...
My boyfriend
hates my depression
made the offhand comment
that he'd like me to get better
so I can go back
to keeping the house clean
...
One of my oldest friends
thinks it's funny she's dating
the male version of me
and never fails to remind us
every time we all hang out
like it doesn't make everyone
(that's not her)
grossly uncomfortable
...
My best friend told me
I'm the love of his life
and then knocked up
his fuck buddy
We haven't talked about it
but I've seen the ultrasound
...
I told my daughter
not to be like me
and she decided to
take my history
and make it a guide book
to life
...
My son was so sick
he could have died
I didn't tell my family
because I couldn't bear
being the epicenter
of rumour and gossip again
And since my kid isn't dead
what they don't know
can't come back to bite me
...
He said I can't live
a fulfilling life
without trust
I'd prove him wrong
if he wasn't already right
...
I'm aware it's problematic
that I assume everyone's an arsehole
until they prove they're not
but
I wish my womb would stop
bleeding itself out every month
so I can stop hoping
it's still capable of holding life
