This won't do,that won't do,nothing will do
Spilt milk they say has no credence
I should welcome this new phase of womanhood
The trinkets of blood between my thighs glare at me
Its a gradual process,they said
I wanted to be one of the educated girl children
Swirls of inks have always intrigued me
Also the patterns they make on slates
My bargaining chips are long outdated
Tradition might not change eventually
I guess I'm just another pawn
Fantasies and realities don't align for all
Take me for example
