It’s the whispers I hear as I climb the mountain
Thoughts of not making the mark
All of their struggle
To be torn apart
All my fault rings in my head
Making it a priority to look more into the secrecy
No one spoke about it outside of my family
Shunned sometimes labeled rude
Gaining momentum on what was happening
Blood flow increased
Cramps released sharp pains
Debilitating motions leading me to refrain
Black womens health
Unrecognized issues to a fault
Not speaking up falling prone to generational thoughts
Break free from the misery
