A Toast to Women the World Over

I have been feeling lots of dark feelings the last week.
  I had been feeling so clear and light, so balanced.
  Then, my friend reminded me of the hormones.

That mischievous gremlin prowls my being
  day and night, seeking, waiting, always
  for a fissure or rift in my well-being.

And then, she pounces with glee,
  throwing off my sensibilities,
  turning asunder my peace.
  
I had been rid of her
  but she is back
  and me, well,

I'm pissy.
