Teen in Me: Poem #2: My Period

I remember the day I got my period; Boy, I really felt like mud. I had a little bit of pain; It was enough to make a girl go insane. My Mom let me stay home from school; But, she really wasn't a fool. She told me I wasn't really sick; She didn't tell me it would be over quick(ly). I thought it would last forever; And that it would end; never. Sometimes my period makes me cry; When all I want to do is spread my wings and fly. I hope my time of the month doesn't get worse; Because I hate carrying stupid pads in my purse!
