3

I am the first of three children
And the third of three pregnancies
I am a child of the third month
And the three names I've taken for myself
Are generic.
I am one of threes.
One of every three women
Are killed by an intimate partner
Have had an abortion by 45
Have had their sex organs removed by 60
Will be raped, beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused in her lifetime.
I am one of three
But I am not the one to be reckoned with.
