Finally the day comes
When others are enjoying
But I would be lying (on the bed).
Finally the day comes
When others are excited (for the day)
But I would be frustrated.
Finally the day comes
When others are laughing
But I would be crying (due to period cramps).
Finally the day comes
When others are planning (for the trip or anything)
But I would be thinking (to get rid of it).
Finally the day comes
When others are drinking cold drinks
But I would be drinking hot drinks (even in hot summer).
Finally the day comes
When others are deedful
But I would be slothful.
Finally the day comes
When others are carefree
But I would be worry (for the blood stain).
Finally the day comes is the poem which is based on menstrual cycle and how does a girl feels during this. Yes, we all know that menstruation is a natural process but still we makes a girl to feel inferior infront of the society as she is on her periods….Why??? I think that we can’t imagine what is going on her during her periods and how is she tolerating all this…. But why we think? What is the need? Only girls are suffering from this na, let them. Why do we care or think about her? They have to as it’s nature’s creation. Then why, why we make her feel inferior?

I’m a male and yet we all have mother’s. How some males or macho patriarchal cultures denigrate
women – who give life – is beyond me. Anyway, thank you for this powerful piece. And also for following my blog. Where are you? Do you bicycle? How did you find my blog?
