Unboxing by Megan Cartwright

Hey guys, welcome to my video.
Join me as I unbox my trauma.
Look how beautifully wrapped it is—
and here’s a personalised note. It says,

I birthed your children. FROM MY BODY! Unboxed your progeny.
Your stomach swelled fat, you think you know labour. You are labour.

I started watching horror films in my thirties.
Elevated horror—
the kind that’s meant to make you check your privilege.
I wasn’t afraid anymore because I’d lived the plotlines.

Remember to like (please, like me), share (like we shared the bed we bought),
