Who knows what i'm talking about?

This load I have to bare
To my rescue, who will share
Sadly this I must do Solo
Save anyone cares to follow

I feel it when I'm walking
At akimbo I must stand surely
All about the place gawking
Abeg na who send you 'shawty'?

Flip Flip from left to right
Up and down my head I raise
For what I must to ease my plight
Only to the heavens my eyes they gaze

Lil' cousin once asked, aunty why are you crying
I replied, it's 'cos it won't stop hurting
A picture of one that's dying
The entire family came in spurting

Dear doctor I'm here for medication
A little som'thing for the strain
Seems like a fool from all indication
Abeg my dear 'try use your brain'

This ordeal we go through repeatedly
And like dumb animals, we restart the cycle
My dear 'nor be by force' tell yourself admittedly
Glorified fools well, some choose to encircle'

All for what? I ask myself
In this madness do we all share
In all we should ask ourselves
This much work for that so fleeting

Oh I know it's pretty
And the male folk all about stalking
With the pain in comparison, it sure is petty
But then no hard feelings, I'm just talking

Smart enough to know what I'm talking about? Let's see who gets it right.

  3. It depends on how u want to view it. The beauty of poetry is that it can be interpreted any way u view it. Now I have four possible interpretations
    1. A pregnant woman lamenting the pains and griefs of pregnancy.
    2. A young girl in grief of her menstrual cycle
    3. A woman suffering from heart break.
    4. The vanity of life.
