Women bleed too

You'd be wrong to assume it just affects only male
And even more wrong to overlook women's plight 
Cause just like men, they too experience it
It's just sad that they'd been left behind

Maybe because it kinda feels like the usual periods
Just a little heavier, going on for more days
And for most women, they go undiagnosed
Cause they're just considered different

Maybe because they just bleed more after childbirth
When bringing forth life can mean life and death
Cause when undiagnosed, it would make people spiral
As they wrack their brains on what's happening

Maybe because all we've known are the boys 
That seems to go through more episodes
And the focus had always been on them
And it was already taking a toll just managing them

You'd be wrong to assume it just affects the male
Cause I've clearly seen how women suffer too
And they suffer more in silence
That's why this year we are highlighting their plight
