I am a Phenomenal woman

Story
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.
