Girl like me


Pretty women wonder where my secret lies

I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size

But when I start to tell them 

They think I'm telling lies 

I say,

It's in the reach of my arms,

The span of my hips, 

The stride of my step,

The curl of my lips,

I'm a woman 

Phenomenally

Phenomenal woman

That's me 

~Maya Angelou ~

She's both heaven and hell, honey and vinegar 

She's her own muse, she does not wait for other's approval 

Nothing matches her wit, her aura, her charisma 

She's set her standards so high, only the strongest can reach 

She knows her worth, more than a dime. Don't tell her what she gonna do

She's imperfectly perfect because imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. 

She has many views but deemed as minority 

Inside her is a louding voice but every time she tries to speak she is stopped

She refuses to be small. She has to adjust the crown like the queen she is. She is unstoppable.

She....a girl like me. That's me, phenomenal woman 😊

Girl in the Mirror

Image
In the quiet solitude of her dimly lit room, a young girl stood before a full-length mirror, her gaze fixated on the reflection staring back at her. The mirror was a portal to another world, a place where her inner thoughts, dreams, and uncertainties were laid bare. Every day, she would come to this enchanted glass, seeking both comfort and confrontation with the girl she saw within. The girl in the mirror had eyes that held galaxies within them – an ever-changing constellation of emotions. Some days, those eyes sparkled like stars on a clear night, radiating joy and enthusiasm. Other times, they dulled to a somber gray, mirroring the weight of her worries and fears. She was a universe of contrasts, a symphony of contradictions, all woven together in the tapestry of her being.   Her hair, a cascade of dark silk, framed her face like a curtain drawn around a stage. It whispered secrets of adventures yet to be embarked upon, of mysteries to be unravelled, and of a soul that hungered ...

Hoping on a Trend

Image
I met my younger self for coffee today. She showed up on time, I was on time as well. She ordered coffee; I prefer flavored tea now. She sat across from me with anticipation, wondering how it all turned out. Her heart was still carrying too much weight; it hadn’t learned to settle down yet. She was still shy and scared, but I was confident.  We talked about the things she worried about—things I barely remember now. About the dreams she was too afraid to say out loud, the ones I now live without a second thought. She asked if we made it, if everything worked out. I told her yes and no. That some things got lost, but better things were found. That the people who mattered stayed, and the ones who left made space for something new. We are still figuring it out. We are learning.  She asked if we feel like we belong. I told her we still wear our heart on our sleeves. She smiled. She looked delicate, but I wish she knew the strength she had. She asked if we were still scared. I ...

A Graduate's Tale

In the dawn of graduation, a chapter begins, Uncertainties linger, where should I begin? My family's hopeful gaze, a weight to bear, A glimmer of light, in future's unknown air.

In the tapestry of time, a story to unfold, A graduate's tale, both brave and bold. The beacon of promise, guiding my way, For family's sake, I'll seize the day. @* Mateni *
