Yes I BLEED!

Talking about menstruation is stigmatized to an extent where she knows not why she bleeds!
Mommy, please explain to her that it's not impure
Aunty, tell her it's just natural
Tell her it's nothing bad
Why whisper it! ...

Scream out loud! Yes we BLEED!
Calling yourself progressive?
Well, you shouldn't be.
With temple doors shut on her face,
Within the confined space,
Oh, see her cry, feel her pain.
Face it! Yes she bleeds!

Why shouldn't I touch you?
Why shouldn't I have evening tea with my family?
Why shouldn't I breathe next to your food?
Let me breathe! Let me live! Let me be free!
For, I bleed to give a life.
