Dramatic Cramping

Dear my ovarian cysts

Thank you for the dark hair all over my body even though I’m blonde. Thank you for the dramatic cramping, the feeling of being shot in the groin on a random Tuesday afternoon when I’m walking to my favourite smoothie bar. Thank you for the gut I will be obsessively trying to get rid of until I accept it’s part of my body. Please, just calm the fuck down.
