Every once in a while I have a dreadful time...

Every once in a while I have a dreadful time
I begin to stare into space
Every being around me seems to be against my efforts toward joy
A depression thick from its bearing descends from the ether and covers me in a veil of eternity
Then my monthly menstrual period comes and the dowdy week of greyness makes sense
It gets me every time •

Haha, hormones and mood disorders - gets me every time •
