3 Days

It all begins
with a sharp
pain in her
stomach. She knows
that she isn’t
alone and that
many others also
experience this pain
when it begins.
It’s a never-ending
cycle that no
girl can ever
escape. This process
is one in
which people often
say is wrong
because no one
should ever be
able to bleed
continuously without dying.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is a poem I wrote for my first Poetry writing class at VCU. This assignment: Write a poem that describes something that happens over a 3 day span. This was to teach us how to use time and space. This is the result.
