Girls, Please Read This Aloud.

Location

Feminist (fuck yeah)

I’m a female.

Forging my own future and forgetting about those who want me to fail.

Feel my strength.

Feel my force.

Lover (of myself)

I love myself more than anyone else ever could.

I seek a life I love rather than the love of my life.  

I’m not here to be someone’s wife.

I promise to love myself for my very own good.

Absolute (goddess)

Within all my attributes, I stand proudly.

I will appreciate all the accumulations of my identity. And loudly.

I’m Aphrodite, overflowing with love and beauty and ambition.

I’m Athena, carrying wisdom and experience and budding fruition.

Wanderluster (for what’s out there)

I won’t waver for a second when you try to change me

I want to find happy

Let me stay free...

To play. To explore. To go get MY more.

Luminescent (lightning bolt)

I’m a strike of brilliance in a thunderous night.

I burst with fireworks of life.

Within my core, a fire ignites.

Presenting a lovely, lethal, and lustrous light.

Electric (spark)

I expound energy and excitement

I invigorate and elicit inspiration.

Encouraging and lifting others is my intent.

A muse, an inception of imagination.

Sass master (yeah, you got that right!)

I stand up for myself, and anyone who seeks a hand

I speak supreme syllables and sounds

In squeamish situations, I have the stomach to say something grand.

My song resounds.

So what?

So I have to be selfish sometimes.

So I won’t stomp on others when I make my climb.

So despite my insecurities and the times when I’m a mess

I can still surely say

Yes, I am flawless.
