Each night
my life
hot flashes
before
my eyes
present payment
for past
ridicule
as
radiation
has shriveled
my ovaries
into
little black BB's
now I regret
my harsh words
directed at
Those Women
"can't they take
a little heat?"
"what wimps"
now I know
and I am sorry
I look forward
to winter
( I always hated winter)
I can't live
without a/c
( I always hated a/c)
I am tempted to cut
my waistlength hair
( I always hated short hair)
I am becoming someone
other than myself
just after I thought
I had figured out
who I am
my life
hot flashes
before
my eyes
present payment
for past
ridicule
as
radiation
has shriveled
my ovaries
into
little black BB's
now I regret
my harsh words
directed at
Those Women

Oh no! Not hot flashes! My M-I-L used to get them. I could see her face go flush. They made her miserable.
That was great--I really, really liked it. The concept of changing oneself--seeing in yourself the changes in comparison to what you once thought about who you were--amazing part of personal growth.
I liked it as well.
I used to have waist length hair. I always hated shoert hair. LOL.
I cut it less than shoulder length about 2 years ago as a last ditch effort to ease my migraines. It didn't help! LOL....ahhh....have let it grow now. (Quit eating most dairy, that seems to have done the trick! Now I want my hair to grow faster! LOL)
I get night sweats. . . I didn't realize that they were an indicator of peri-menopause.
Somehow this stuff isn't all that much fun.
Great poem.
Ciao
I hate a/c to, until wilting, then I love it. I'm still hanging in there with waist length hair. When I'm tempted to have it cut, I clip it up. Have cut it all off before and regretted it.
Don't cut your hair.
Never.
Cut.
Your.
Hair.
The world would be a better place if all women everywhere simply learned that rule of thumb.
Hmm.. Good think you're not my mommy or else.. oh dear.
