Hey guys,
I've written some poetry about endometriosis. I’ve been really anxious about sharing it because it is so personal but I understand the importance of raising awareness and that is the main inspiration for having written the piece.
I tried to cover as many aspects as possible to give more opportunities for our community to relate. I know you all will and honestly I feel sad about that. I just want for more people to understand how difficult living with this disease is. I really hope I’ve done it justice. Sending love and healing vibes. Xx
Thank you so much for sharing this poem with us. My heart is absolutely breaking hearing your words in your story. Your "I am expected to carry on normally while my body is treating me disrespectfully" brought tears to my eyes. So many things you said brought tears to my eyes. You are so incredibly talented, and I am so so sorry that the inspiration for this poem came from such a relentless and painful condition. I hope everyone takes a moment to listen to this. I honestly think I have listened to it at least 5 times already. Thank you for your vulnerability, your strength, and your persistence to bring awareness to endometriosis. I am sending you SO much love, kindness, and light. I hope you can feel it. 🧡 Kayleigh, Endometriosis.net team
