once a month estrogen teaches girls the meaning of happiness by feeding them to the darkness of their own imagination. once a month i see my incompleteness manifesting as physical imperfection staring staring me down at my ugly claw feet my jiggly thighs my soft stomach my mammoth arms my swollen eyes my misshapen eyebrows my thinning hair even my fingernails, the shape of my fingers all wrong
