I enter the washroom,

to check if I got my periods,

Unfortunately, I bleed red

I am at the washbasin,

I see myself in the mirror,

And all of a sudden

I start crying

I tried not to weep much

but the tears couldn’t just stop

I took a little stroll in the washroom itself,

wiped all my tears

my face has now turned pink

I wait for it to change the blush

looked into the mirror again

I fake a smile to myself

the blush has now gone

I look fine

I walked outside the washroom

Confidently, looking straight into the eyes

With my head bowed high

I do small talks with people I meet on the way

nobody ever knew

that I just cried

that I’m in pain

that I’ve been feeling a little too much

that the moment of weeping just passed some seconds back

no one knows about it

And girl, you say, you aren’t strong?

You’re a warrior, my love

A complete warrior
