Making a hormonal choice
I weigh up cost and benefit
Sweet relaxed bliss
versus
Giving up my highs and lows
I never knew
The value of my highs and lows
Until they were gone
Leaving this flat unaffected person
Who bored me to death
When it was over
It was like homecoming
And I promised
I will never leave myself again
Now he says
You've got to be careful
What they do to you
I swear
I could see him signing the papers
Committing me
Kicking and screaming
What a nightmare
And hopefully
An impossible one
This day and age
Hormonal times
Hormonal choices
Do I still get to keep myself this time?
I've read this three times and each one has ended with me finding the commitment to "being hormonal". For me this equates to feeling that life is worth all the feelings it can reveal to us (even when it makes one cry reading such pieces). Great work - keep it up.
