#Haq_se_Periods

                                                
You,  The spitting image of a Goddess

You a self-made empress

You, dear woman, are everything that’s wonderful

In a society failing to see the glass half full. Every breath, a blessing and a burden alike. Since the day you were born, you fall, yet you rise. But for a week every month, you bleed. You bleed rivers forming oceans of red, And they’ll never get what it’s like so they pretend they don’t know instead. It starts with an unbearable pain Gnawing ache in your abdomen your body at war with itself running out of patience. Girls skipping school women missing office staying at home feels like a better deal than dealing with all this. Cramps, clots, the wretched pain all aboard the period train it’s a natural process, my child mother's persist you’ll get through it. A best friend insists sanitary napkins, check. Comfort food, check. The recurring pain and nausea. Collateral damage you must endure. No, ma. This isn’t what I should go through. This is beyond feel-good checklists.

 Dysmenorrhea- A disease women don’t know exists. And don’t even get me started on the media. They tell you your blood is your strength. Your period, your superpower. Femininity oozing out of your anatomy, just stop. For once, be real. Enough advertisements to make us feel invincible. Enough products to keep the blood invisible. Our mind conditioned to think what isn’t visible doesn’t exist. Surely, the cramps, womanly diseases are nothing but a myth. I know your argument, I know you will complain. Enough has been said about periods. Social media going insane. We’ve liked, we’ve shared, and tweeted, for god sake. Normalized menstruation what’s this about dam ache? PERIODS ARE NORMAL, PERIOD PAIN IS NOT. So stop treating yourself like you deserve this. Like it’s some kind of a punishment you get for being a woman. Stop calling something natural just because, it happens over and over again. You did not choose the disease, you did not choose the pain. You did not choose the mood swings, the bloating the body pains and backaches. Then why live it if that’s not what it takes? PERIODS ARE NORMAL, PERIODS PAIN IS NOT. It’s time to do your research it’s time to put in the efforts. Talk to your girlfriends, best friends, sister, daughter, tell them too. For once, do this for you. Speak up before it’s too late. Raise an alarm, open the dam gate.

WHY SUFFER SILENTLY? when you scream because it hurts.

जीवन मिलता जिस प्रक्रिया से,

उसे ही शर्म बना डाला,

और लोगोने तो दर्द सहना जैसे मेरा धर्म बना डाला.

माँ ने सिखाया था बचपण में कि कभी चोट से खून निकले तो बताना आकर.

यहाँ चोट तो नही लगी पर,

हर महीनें खून निकलने पर मुझे अशुद्ध कहकर,

मेरे दिल पर कभी ना भरने वाला जखम बना डाला.

In our country, you will get alcohol, cigarette, everywhere openly. But the pads in black Polyethene or Wrapping in newspaper why so?


 I PAY,                                                                                                                                                        
 I PAY A BIG PRICE TO BE WOMAN. I BLOODY BLEED EVERY MONTH.

  1. I think women are foolish to pretend they are equal to men, they are far superior and always have been.
