Go away atrocious one!
Can’t you see I’m on the run
Why do you visit me at this ungodly hour
Your presence brings me annoyance and leaves the taste in my mouth sour
Just before i open the door
I pray the ringing bell is nothing more
Then a mistake on my behalf
So that the week that follows won’t be rough
But when the door opens I am left disappointed
Because it seems that I have been appointed
Your host for seven days
And only then will you go away
I am left to prepare endless supplies of clothes and food
When it’s holidays Your stay is never good
As this is the time for me to go away and rest
Come when I’m busy, thenĀ your stay gives me freedom so it works out best
You make me moody and feeling like I need to cry
For reasons no one knows why
And you wake me in the middle of the night
And I always have to make sure that your bedding is just right
Now there’s nothing that can be changed
So I heave a sigh and have a room arranged
As The Red Flag Lady is here to stay with me
I know the worst is going to be days one, two and three
Exceptionally written. You’ve captured such intense emotions in this poem that ends on a note of acceptance and resignation. I especially loved that from the very start the metaphor was clear; a very bold homage to menstruation.
