Red



I was laughing at lame jokes for one moment,I was crying at silly things the other moment, I was lying on bed, holding my stomach the next moment. Why am I changing my mood so rapidly? This is  because I got my periods recently.

Yes, those cramps make me feel bad and I behave like a lazy lad.                                                                                                                                                                               But the thing I hate the most is those absurd ads,                                                                       the blue color depicted there on that sanitary pad.                                               Though I feel blue                                                                                    but I bleed red,                                                                                                       Am I supposed to tell them even that?

No, I don't crave any extra attention                                                               and I don't even want any kind of detention.                                               All I want is the menstrual products to be sold for free,
so do you agree?
