From the moment I knew that I was a girl,
I realized my life not being easy at all.
I knew there will be cuts,
I knew there will be fights,
Fights to struggle and survive,
Fights to stand for the rights.

 I knew my body would have flaws,
I knew my body would be craved for,
I knew I would bleed each month with pain,
I knew I would have a soft heart to be strained.

 I knew that I would be pleased with ease and honesty,
I knew that I would have to be faithful towards family study.
I knew that there will be a boundary around,
I knew I would have to work double the ass to make self proud.

 I knew I would be judged by others' airy words,
I knew people will influence me to like guys who are "studs".
I knew that my opinion would matter a little less,
But none of you know that this body is my bless.

 A bless of beautiful smile 
A bless of strength,
A bless of fortune,
A bless of prosperity,
A bless for giving life,
A bless for happiness soon,
An epitome of power and sacred thought! 
From the moment I knew that I was girl,
I knew I would struggle, stand and survive to be above all.

Being a girl? How easy is it? Being a boy? How busy is it? Being a child? How playful is it? Being a woman? How fierce is it? Being a man? How valiant is it? Being someone? How chameleonic is it? Bitching about others? How pathetic is it? Who replies that "HOW"? Who answers that "WHY & WHY NOT"? Who gives us the "right" to talk about the "rights" we keep babbling about? Who are we judging when the world is a stage and every body is judged while playing there roles! Who are we? To puke something insanely bad on others, When we can't talk flowers! Who are we? To call someone *Fat, Thin, Skinny, Wheel, Whore, Slut, Bitch, Stripper, Streamer, Busted, Boobed, Crunched, Hottie, Chick, Satisfying, Sugary, Spicy and Salty*! So one to name that space isn't SUFFICE. Who are we? To name them again when their parents have already named them on their 21st day. Who are we? To criticize someone with a Murphy Monkey Or s

*YES WE BLEED* ~Akankshya Das. ⛑ Dear Periods, I know not how to thank you more, Thank you for entering my bag of bones. The moment you came to me, I knew I was someday a mother to be. Just like my mother had your gift as my sister and I, And her mother having her, Then a legacy going by. Yes, you are precious! Every woman -- the most defined feature of the universe, has your touch, While growing up It's like a chain - Goes on and on, Though gives pain, Is yet a bliss to entertain. I do bleed, And someday my daughter will, That's what our body does. Trust me, there's no need of making it a fuss or to whisper, It's a thing where you should be pampered. People, call it unnamed in public, Taboos you know! With taboos come myths unpleasant, Some, not to sleep on bed, Some not to touch the loaf of bread, Some not to touch the God under the shade. Some not to touch the pickle jars, To have it not rotten and by keeping it hidden, To prevent it
