A little ditty on bleeding

I have the worst period pains I've had in years so imma keep my bit brief and take you to the good stuff after a few words.
 
I am bleeding.
I am bleeding and sleeping and reading. I am not moving like I used to when I wore my 'strength' as my crown.
I am bleeding and eating toast for lunch in bed then napping with the crumbs.
I am bleeding and every time my mind tells me there are things to do I tell it to 'shhh, not today baby, not today'.
I am bleeding and sleeping and feeling everything so very deeply and letting it flow through me with ease.
Because my 'success' is in my rest, in my desire to not impress… anyone, even myself.
