Those Days(The Vo Vaale Din)😲😲😲



Periods Matter

These are the days when you are impure

Anything you touch gets poisoned

Even your shadow is enough

To scare the mightiest of Gods

So during these days you've got to

Stay in Solitude

And remained confined

To that Shanty behind the Stable

Fear not for I'll come to take you with clothes new, when it's due 

The poor little girl obeyed the orders

She groaned, she cried, she wept 

Due to pain, spasms and hunger pangs

Shivered due to the weather harsh

Feared the moonless nights dark

And trembled listening to those howls

And then she came expecting her 

To have been relieved of her 'Vo Vaale din'

To find her

Sleeping in Solitude

Gone forever, Her face revealing her pain

Period Matters

But it's not a matter of shame

Adequate rest, healthy diet and hygiene

Is that what is required

To allow the cycle of life to sustain 

During those 'Vo Vaale Din'
