WORDS AMELIA WALTERS
It’s on your bowels but it’s only in your head
pain so bad you wish you were dead.
Sex isn’t pleasure, you’re enslaved by the pain
but you’re just a woman so you must be insane.
Feeling unheard, feeling alone
all the answers still unknown.
They invade your body, take away your pride
to turn around and say the pain will subside.
Turns out you were right; you knew all along
finally, an answer, woman, you are strong.
Your pain is real; it is raw, it is true
don’t let them think otherwise, it’s your point of view.
It’s endometriosis, it affects one in nine
stay strong, my friend, together we’ll be fine.
