Womanhood by Jillian Westin

​no one prepared us
for what was to come.
our brain, body, and spirit
now changed.
where curiosity once lived,
burdens now lie.

was it for the better?

nothing to do but sit back and

watch

feelings we’ve never had
now at the surface.
eyes that were once dry
now swelling with tears.
no sense of why
nothing to do but,

let it pass
