restless menses

she has a lopsided view of reality

her head is worn to one side from thinking too much

her intense emotions betray her often

for her skills in life are weak



she has no concept of time

life is burning away with every mistake

she cares not for what she's done

nor even how to change it



she knows nothing of courtesy

being so obsessed with herself

has made her blind to the world around her

every action is made in haste

and the consequences never come to mind



sad lost girl

only hurting herself

only wasting the hours away

Author's Notes/Comments: 

So many women my age are throwing their lives away. So many are unwed uncaring mothers. So many are dependant on worthless men to feel whole. Even more are so caught up in society, they've lost sight of the fact that are still human. I weep for these women, it is a sad thing when you are never taught how to cope.
