The Unbearable Pain

This pain, unbearable it feels

Yet every time, I survive through it

It is nothing much though

Just an unfertilized egg, getting disposed

Society's words keep ringing in my mind

"Women are fragile and weak"

How? I never understand

Inevitable torment, every month they bear

Drains off their strength,during that while

The crushing pain, they feel in their bones

The tightening of waist by a pricking rope

Their belly feels like an indiffusible bomb

Yearning to burst out, yet without a sound

Their abdomen, as though was only meant to impart pain

Needles piercing through the body, was what it felt

Their legs feel, as though paralyzed for a day

Their body goes numb, due to enduring the whole bulk of pain

After bearing all this, they still say

"Women are fragile and weak"?

Like a submerged glacier, is their strength hidden

And so you remark them delicate?

'Spread awareness, periods are nothing to be ashamed about'

chanted the world.

Stop for a second, and think

'Spread awareness about something everyone is already aware of?'

'Will it help them anyway?'

'Will it help them ease off the cycle of pain?'

'Will it change anything in the narrow minded brains?'
'Will the narrow minded even bother read or know about it?'

NO

If there's something you really can do

Is to step a little down and free them from the monsters, ripping their dignities off

Just because they bleed, doesn't mean they're weak

This pain they go through every month

Makes them stronger and tough

This pain they go through

Gives them the power to survive through worst of the storms

With a beautiful smile on their faces.
