A Mother in Need

Rose Monet P. Little

I am in pain. 

I have cramps. 

Am I pregnant? 

Do I have cancer? 

Am I going through menopause? 

Explain this to me… 

Explain that to me… 

Please my daughter, my scientist, my future doctor 

Explain to me the pain and confusion I feel with my own body. Explain to me what should have been explained by my own gynecologist. 

They brush me off. 

They scare me. 

I feel like they don’t even care about me. 

How am I, 

a scientist, a public health professional, a future provider, a daughter supposed to fill those shoes?
