On The Periods

At 14 while on my first period
No aware of use and keep the pad
Red drops on the floor of class
They were loughing- "it's so sad."

Back to home with stain, words
Held the stomach and fell on bed
Said to mom "I am going to die
Beetween two leg thing of shy."

Mom hug me held on her arms
"My girl you are growing not bad"
Not clear still confused on blood
Why pain on stomach and on head.

So I am sad and will stay always
Sight from society, fun they made
Sad during the pain and can't share
Sad the freedom sate under shade.
