Unspoken Strength

Do whatever it takes to remember when I'll arrive.

Mark the date, jot me down – just ensure I'm in your mind,

But I’ll never return at the same hour again!

Next month, I'll visit, bringing more of my pain.

I come as I wish, without care or a plan,

To disrupt your comfort whenever I can.

Regardless of your exams or trips,

I'll knock at your door, making you crave for salty chips.

Each minute I’m here, you'll feel the sting,

An ache so deep that only I can bring.

When my wrath ignites, you'll stare death in the face,

As cramps crush you, leaving no grace.

Needles will prick you, every second a test,

Making you long for just a moment of rest.

That white dress you wore so carefree and bright,

Will feel out of place as I draw near, taking your light.

Still, so gracefully, you bear me with poise,

Serving your family, fulfilling your roles.

At the office or home, with a smile so warm,

You endure my agony as if it's the norm.

But make no mistake, one error I seize,

And I can unravel everything with ease.

In just nine months, I can change your life,

With pain and struggle sharper than a knife.

I’ll be with you until you break,

I can become the reality you never thought you'd face.

Being so womanly, fierce and strong,

You defeat me each month, yet carry on.

Like a warrior, bold, you rise and shine,

Each battle you face, you claim as mine.

Girls and ladies, you're no less than the men,

You’re a survivor, again and again.

So embrace your strength, hold your pride high,

For you conquer the world without a sigh.
