Bleeding Is A Blessing

The day she got her first periods,

Was the toughest day for her.

Not knowing that what she was going through..

Just sobbing like a 1-month baby,

As it was the first day of her pain.

Actually this was not only the internal pain,

By which she was going through.

But the voice of people !

How will you feel,

If you are stopped from,

Entering in the kitchen for next five days ?

What will you do,

If you are ordered to sleep on mat,

Leaving your comfortable bed for next five days ?

How will you feel?

If you have to buy those pads from a male shopkeeper,

Who stares at you before giving you the packet.

What will you do ?

If they stopped you from entering in a temple,

Saying you are impure for next five days ?

How will you feel ?

If you have to fight every month,

The fight with bleeding pain,

And the fight with the society.

I can easily defy the bleeding pain.

But tell me how to fight with this society ?

How to answer this questions on my purity ?

How to stop those eyes staring me ?

Because if bleeding is impurity,

Then the one who has taken birth,

From a women’s womb,

And made these rules is himself impure !
