Lost

Connection to others is everything
It is what makes us a human being
Without it we are shells
An infinite ringing of ghostly bells
When you find yourself alone
You grow to be prone
To the deepest of loneliness
The bitter sadness the only caress
The world becomes overgrown
Trees creep up, you are on your own
Vines inch down to you
You no longer see the sky as blue
Grey fog fills the air
You think there isn’t a breath to spare
So you being to hold it
Your stomach a bottomless pit
Memories return from the past
Relationships never meant to last
You accept that you are lost
But at what cost?
Who are you without love
When life decides to push and shove
You have become no one
For your life is coming undone
You need to find your voice
And make this important choice
Scream into the darkness
Until you feel breathless
Do not stay silent
Or the outcome may be violent
You need to find your way out
Of this forest, no matter your doubt.

I always started within one to two days of my app's prediction date. Day 2 of bleeding was always my most painful day, but it was manageable with ibuprofen. Then two years ago when I was sitting in my Sophomore math class, I felt this really dull ache in my lower abdomen. I knew I was supposed to be starting my period so I was already prepared and wearing a pad. As the class continued, I started to feel nauseous. When the class ended and I was walking to English the pain in my abdomen got much worse. I also began to feel really dizzy. I walked as quickly as I could to my next class, which was English. When I got to the class, things went bad very quickly. The color drained from my skin, I looked paler than I had ever be...
