The Crimson Queen
January 9, 2023
A sickening drop
In my stomach
My tender chest
My mind-altering headache
Had it finally come?
Dripping down my legs
My stomach howling
“Finally a woman!”
My mother said
My crimson scowling.

Hi! I'm Feh, and I wanted to express what was running through my head the first time I got my period. I wrote this piece in hopes that others would find comfort in it and to contribute to the destigmatization of periods in general. I hope you like it.
