Menopause
Dull,
Grey
Matches my mood today,
Climbing the four walls.
Menopause.
Cold
Hot
Shall I go out or not?
Feeling a rush
Of another hot flush.
Mad
Sad
Feeling bad.
Soaking wet
Hot sweat.
Cold in summer
Hot in winter
Dry and manky
Hormones cranky
Need a hanky.
Mind blank
Smell rank
Feeling change
Acting strange
Head deranged.
Funny age
Mood swing
The change of life to begin.
Please, no more surprises
I’m going through a mid~life crisis.
It’s my time
In neon signs
Weight spread
This I dread
And everything I’ve read.
Is this a curse?
Or maybe a hex
I’ve even gone off love and sex
I’d rather suffer P.M.T.
Then face this new reality.
