Periods.
Periods aren't something to hide,
Or be ashamed of, they're not a lie.
It's a natural process that takes place,
Every girl goes through, it's not a disgrace.

Painful cramps, mood swings galore,
All that a girl needs is love, care, and more.
An empathetic heart, a helping hand,
Is all it takes to make her feel grand.

Periods aren't dirty, they're not taboo,
Creating life is what they can do.
Let's educate both girls and boys,
Break the silence, make some noise.

Menstrual health is vital too,
Access to products, a clean loo.
A society that shuns the shame,
Makes all the difference, it's not a game.

Periods should be normalized,
talked about with ease,
That's when girls can manage them
with confidence and peace.
So break the stigma,
let it fall,
Period talk should be encouraged,
embraced by all.
