Alamat ng Makahiya
By: Alpha
Ika'y alamat ng makahiya,
na kahit tinapakan,
hinawakan,
inabuso,
sinaktan,
mamumukadkad pa rin at lalaban.
Sa pihikan mong dating,
tatangkain ka nilang sakalin
ngunit sa ilalim ng matingkad mong bulaklak
may nakatagong patalim.
Babae,
isa kang alamat.
Kahit saang panig ng mundo,
malalaman nila ang kwento mo.
