I am a Phenomenal woman

No!

it is not impure

It comes out of my own body,

 

I bleed to  breed 

A generation

That lead and read

I am your child bearer.

 

The menstrual cycle

is as pure as I am.

Every month is thus

a reminder to myself

Of a phenomenal being.

A phenomenal woman,

A fertile beauty.

 

Could fertility ever be impure?

List of Do's and Dont's

Prison cage my maternal health

In sheer taboos. 

 

I am made helpless 

At the cost of my life

To hide my body poor functioning 

From the guilt and shame 

I am embodied with

that you call culture.

 

Dear society,

You need to grow up

and understand...

Understand that breeding

is a natural process

A nature to which

All the phenomenal women

are naturally entitled with!

 

You need to understand,

It is no more time to bear taboos

Over the pain that

almost crushes us while

giving birth

Or losing a baby within. 

And

that hot water bag

Do you see 

over my tummy,

 a displacement that I seek

for relief in using it

From hours and hours

isthe reason behind

the permanent scars

below my belly button,

.

Listen, please

don't teach my poor body 

to be ashamed of its functioning

Teach me if you can

To be proud of it, 

And fight with me 

To make the culture of 

Proper maternal hygine 

A way of life,

today, tomorrow and everyday 

For it Breeds life,

Yes!

We, the phenomenal

women beings

Teach and bring

to rest of the world

Life.
