What if it Were You?
Everyday, Walk In Her Shoes.
What if it were you that started missing school in Junior High, while behind your back friends whispered “fake”
What if it were you that blossomed into an hourglass at puberty, while behind your back friends whispered “slut”
What if it were you sitting in a doctor’s office being denied the respect of your doctor’s sworn oath, while behind your back the medical staff whispered “hypochondriac”
What if it were you that had to give up a career when your body became unreliable, while others whispered “lazy”
What if it were you denied help from your ER, while they blatantly accused you of drug seeking
What if it were you that found your voice to advocate about the social injustice that stole your life, while others whispered “attention seeker”
What if it were you that grieved everyday through the heartbreaking journey of infertility, while others whispered “relax, it’ll happen”
What if it were you that tried to bring the sunshine despite the storm, while others whispered hate.
What if it were you that had endometriosis? What if it were you?
