Menstruation develops

Forms and molds

A child into a fragile female

Left in a dressing room to grasp, tug and pull

The snaps, hooks, eyes and straps

Saddled up, enclosed and hidden

The pink nipples

Hide behind a cotton cloth

A training bra of manipulated meat

To be disciplined and controlled

Terrified of being known

That I bleed in my panties

and my nipples are sore
