Dirty Girls’ Disease
A Poem about Endometriosis and Stigma

Dirty Girls’ Disease
They told me
I was sick
Because I let you
Find a home
Deep inside me.
They told me
I must be dirty,
Sex with demons,
Sip this clean juice,
Have you tried yoga?
Is this pain
Ripping me -
Ripping us -
Apart, really just
Psychosomatic?
