We-Are-Not-OVARY Acting
When women have periods, we are seen as 'over emotional'. Which translates in the minds of most people that we are 'dramatic'. But this is not true.
We would prefer if these people understand that our periods do not define us.

Anxiety
Because of our unique physical design as women, we experience emotional and physical highs and lows during our menstruation. We would not want to see our physical form as something negative. Rather, we would like it to be seen as unique.

POEM: The Gift Of Blood

Blood is more than a gift that is synonymous to life.
No blood no life.
Female blood is unique blood like no other.

Since u and I ain't taboo so her menstrual cycle and process isn't one.
One drop of her blood during her period is her virtue dropping and she needs to be protected because her virtue is life.
Menstruation is identified with woman just as pregnancy is identified with her.
Pregnancy and 9months is identified with her just as you are identified with her.
A Gift of Blood!
