With a loud cry we come into this bewildering world

Even before the umbilical cord is cut, the wait for us to be a woman begins to unfold

A journey long and well-planned

A natural plan perfectly ordained

In a matter of few years as they say

Ah!! Till the monthly Aunt Flo will comes to stay.

As days metamorphosis to months and months to years

It finally arrives unannounced, sparking curiosity and a hint of fear

Oops!!It keeps us on our toes with its monthly arrival

Cravings, mood swings and cramps are conspicuous, not to be considered trivial.

Feeling low becomes a norm

Emotions overwhelm like a storm

Its knowledge seems so skewed

With no one to empathise,   it is truly so crude!

As farrago of hormones continues to destroy the tranquillity of our body

Menstruation is a phase; its marvel we calmly embody

            A knack of endurance, we women surely possess

But, why bar us from seeking holy bless?

In the insalubrious shadow of society’s disgrace

It thrives as a symbol of resilience, life and grace

Let’s create a community for promoting hygiene without being stealth

It’s time we collectively work for our health

Handle menstruation with grace

Erase the stigma and allow it to be embraced.
