White bed staining red
the unbearable pain
and the dots of blood
A sneeze that detached
the blood of life
spreading it everywhere
Crying but too weak for it
Vomiting made the whole
stomach felt coming
through the mouth
She knew it’s past ten,
when a shout came
from the kitchen
“Girls don’t wake up late!!”
Hands on the stomach,
she got up,
whispering to herself
“But boys don’t have periods!!”
