WHY?

There was once a heart and a mind Both were confused, so they both lied They told me this word was best on its fine Until I found my truth hidden inside
By Sarala Gautam

There was once a heart and a mind

Both were confused, so they both lied

They told me this word was best on its fine

Until I found my truth hidden inside

 

They told me being a girl was a gift

Also, a women’s heart is strong concrete

I was told it was okay to smile and be free as need

Until I was twelve and I started to bleed

 

I was kept out of touch in corner, in dark

The only thing that shone was my stretch mark

There was scar I got when I jumped and laughed

But suddenly I got the unholy card!

 

Is it possible to pray when I bleed?

Is it possible to sing or dance when I bleed?

Is it okay to have cramps or is someone cursing me?

Oh wait, it does not really matter when he wants my body!
