The 8th of march,
Not Between the Ears
They say: āItās stress, madam,
just relax, breathe deep,
itās all in your head.ā
While he gets scans, pills, validation
with the exact same pain.
I get: ātoo emotional,ā āwomenās issues.ā
Pain that burns, bones that crack,
body screaming after every step ā¦
yet the label: psychosomatic, exaggerated.
The stats donāt lie:
we wait longer, get less care,
same symptoms, different verdict.
This isnāt hysteria.
This is real.
And it deserves better than your disbelief.
For every woman fighting the silence: your pain is valid. š¹ā
