This starts off as tongue in cheek, but conveys a real message that there is a vibrant life after menopause.
My undercarriage has slipped
My tits have taken a trip
My temperature is high
My mood it has taken a dip
I feel invisible
Except when I sweat
and drip
Each night in bed I’m
forced to strip
Not to chill but to cool
And I often feel a fool
As I cry for no reason
Whatever the season
But…
I’m a woman
Who can
Overcome biology
I refuse to hide
Or abide by my hormones
Or see life as a trauma
I’ll stand tall
And I stand proud
As I invest in my role
As free from control
Of periods
And taxes
On ’lady products’
And girly packaging
I proudly buy
Tweezers’ for my chin hair
I don’t give a care
As I go out and about
Look out world
She’s out
I’m menopausal
And proud to
Shout out
My time is now.
