I am nothing but a spaceship;
Travelling through time.
I am nothing but a menstrual cycle;
Releasing and in my prime

I am nothing but a vehicle and I am
Driven by something small.
I am nothing but a host;
a parasites' mule.

I am nothing but a feeder
And soon I'll have sore breasts.
I am nothing but a teacher
Wearing a bullet proof vest

I am nothing but a cleaner
Tending to others needs.
I am nothing but exhausted
And sometimes my heart may bleed.

I am nothing but a parent-to-be,
But I am more than just a lover.
I am so much more than nothing,
For I am soon to be a mother.
