Blood, by Annie B. SnowRaven Subscribe to rss feed for Annie B. SnowRaven

I woke up this morning relaxed. Nothing is happening...
I was thinking about how my day would turn out.

I got out of bed eventually. I was walking to the 
bathroom, and when i opened the door and went in I felt 
something cold and moist between my legs.

i looked down and there was a small pool of blood. I hate 
it when that happens. So i went to my bedroom again and 
stood in front of the closet to find some clean pants. 

I could feel the blood running down my legs to my thies, 
almost reaching my knees. I was startled for a moment 
there, because honestly this never happened to me before. 
Not this much anyway...

I closed my legs together so that my pants would absorbe 
the blood and not let it run any further.

I couldn't find a comfortable pare of pants. When I looked 
down to see the blood again, it got worse. Much worse.

Big red spots of blood were on the floor beneath me. 
Soking, my pants couldn't obsorbe anymore. I paniced. I 
took any pare of pants that was in my sight, i grabbed a 
pare short jeans. And ran to the bathroom as fast as I 
could with out dropping more blood.

I turned on the hot water, and crossing my legs I called 
my mom from behind the bathroom door. I wanted her to 
clean up the blood for me so my little sister won't see. I 
know my mother already explained everything to her but we 
share a room together and I don't want her freaked out by 
the blood in front of the closet. 

My mom cleaned the blood in my room, so I had nothing to 
worry about exept the bathroom. 

I took off my clothes and put them aside to clean them up 
later. I was in such a hurry that I forgot to take off my 
cross. I got into the shower and the first thing I did was 
wash the blood off my legs.

I have never seen so much blood in my life. not even in 
the movies.

I stood there motionless and frightened, watching the 
bright red of the blood wash away with the water on the 
white stone of our jacuzzi...

it just seems a little un-poem-ish but i can see where that would be a mega freaky experience!

I think it's great to write about such personal experiences. After all, this is rite of passage, or whatever you want to call it... you're poems are powerful and very unique in their style that makes me feel as if you're talking to me. I hope you keep on writing because you're poetry is wonderful.
