phenominal woman

by Maya Angelou

 

 

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.

 

I walk into a room

Just as cool as you please,

And to a man,

The fellows stand or

Fall down on their knees.

Then they swarm around me,

A hive of honey bees.

I say,

It's the fire in my eyes,

And the flash of my teeth,

The swing in my waist,

And the joy in my feet.

I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.

 

Men themselves have wondered

What they see in me.

They try so much

But they can't touch

My inner mystery.

When I try to show them

They say they still can't see.

I say,

It's in the arch of my back,

The sun of my smile,

The ride of my breasts,

The grace of my style.

I'm a woman

 

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.

 

Now you understand

Just why my head's not bowed.

I don't shout or jump about

Or have to talk real loud.

When you see me passing

It ought to make you proud.

I say,

It's in the click of my heels,

The bend of my hair,

the palm of my hand,

The need of my care,

'Cause I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.

your courage. But do not hate that part of your life that you are now disclosing

to us. Please accept it as part of your path as I and Sparrow have.

that women and girls who find them selves forced to earn money in this way, can

get all the support they need to either move on or work without fear.

make us the beautiful strong women we are today. We helped the men we saw and

for a brief moment we helped them feel better about themselves. I know the

industry has a dark side and it is this I and the other women are working to

stop. We are the women to do it as we know it and have felt it.

reading the book by Keith Dowman called 'Skydancer', The Life of Yeshe Psogyel,

so dont dismiss and try to forget your past Elektra as there are so many girls

and women you could help especially in the area where you live. Have a think

about it as you work on yourself. I Love You my Beautiful Elektra.

but I feel as if when I am telling you I am releasing it all to Shakti Ma, and

yes, if it helps everyone release something all the better, we are all

connected.
