Uterine Conditions

poetryblog

Jul 6

I want healthcare that’s worth more than a

doctor’s stare when I’m suffering. My ancestors are

still seeking freedom through me. The spiritual is

ever developing. Most of the ladies in my family

have uterine conditions. Like endometriosis,

fibrosis, and pelvic varices. Even cancer has caused

pain in our family tree. A lot of undiagnosed family

who suffer endlessly. The diagnosed spent years

battling for their bodies to be seen as worthy of

care, only to denied treatment when they get

there. Why is the medicine for endometriosis like

$400? Why are they bleeding internally they’ve

seen too many doctors? Black women’s bodies

were the commodity that supplied this country

capital and in 2024 we’re still treated like we’re

disposable. Yes, it may be generational that my

periods were horrible, but no where does it say

that the cause of these pains can’t be changed.
