Phenomenal/Flawless

February 10, 2015

Maya Angelou called herself

a phenomenal woman,

so why should I not

do the same

for myself?

I am phenomenal.

I am flawless

with my

beautiful eyes,

my hips,

my thighs

and they do not

fall victim

to your lies

that I must be

perfect in the eyes

of society,

No.

I am flawless

in the way that

I talk and

the way that

I walk,

so do not mock

my beauty

when you cannot

even see it

in yourself.
