We visited a doctor today
Who didn't know how to
Behave with patients
She yelled at me
Saying I'll have ovarian cancer
Saying I'll have uterus cancer
Saying I'll never be able to give birth
Saying I'll turn into a beastly monster
That I need to start my treatment fast
My mother rushed me out of there
But her voice still rung in my head
They call it PCO
More than 70 million have it
Then why haven't I ever heard of it?
Then why does no one
Ever talk about it?
That's when I accepted the
First truth
I'm not fine.
