PHENOMENAL WOMAN
by Maya Angelou
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies
I'm not cute or built to suit a model's fashion 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 steps
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 of 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 for my care.
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me.
Apparently, someone thinks I don't have enough text on my page so... here goes:ABOUT ME:Gosh, its a little hard cause I feel like its gonna come off like I'm tooting my own horn. See!? Now I remember why I didn't fill this portion out. What they should do is ALLOW other people to write the "ABOUT ME" for me. Hmm.. alright... let the chips fall where they may:I am... well? I think I'm pretty damn funny. I love the sound of laughter so naturally I enjoy cracking jokes or telling people about my crazy encounters and my perspective on things. I'm very ambitious and determined to be best that I can be, not to sound like an Army commercial or anything. I absolutely love my friends and am always there to listen or give my piece of advice to them. I have an amazing fiance who supports my career, loves my family, is learning to love my dogs and takes me as I am. I love him like he couldn't possibly understand. :) I grew up in the lovely neighborhood most known for its beach that is a magnet for weirdos, Venice, and miss it terribly. At the moment, I live in the crappy ass valley and can't wait to move back and be close to family and friends on the westside. Lets see... I tend to swear like a sailor and am currently trying my very hardest to watch my language. I have serious arachnophobia, so bad, I will not sleep or hang out in a room if a spider escapes the swat of a chancla (which I will also not do... someone else has to kill them for me). Roaches are okay so long as they don't have wings. I love cheese. I adore Amy Winehouse and Zalon, they're amazing! I know Eddie Murphys "Delirious" verbatum. I cry when my stomach hurts (cause I'm a wuss). I gag at sight of anything thats remotely disgusting. I won't make a fuss about it and yell "ewwww thats disgusting!!", but I will just gag, get teary eyed often red faced and walk away :) its sexy, I know. I'm a picky seafood eater cause I nearly died from seafood poisoning, and yes I was crying. I don't like to share anything that has dairy in it. I adore ice cream and cheese (which is probably why I dont like to share dairy). I sleepwalk...yeah I know, PROBLEMS! But they make for great stories. From the age 4-9 everyone thought I was a boy and called me Norman, which explains why I'm a little bit of a guys girl. I love the little gap in my teeth, cause it gives me character and no my mom didn't tell me that to make me feel better :). I love to read, but haven't had the time to lately. Adore my two doxies whom I refer to as the "weinerettes". I love the New York Yankees but have love for ONE Boston player... I love to travel, taking pictures (taking them not being in them) and last but not least I live for music. I work in the music industry for a management firm and am involved in an awesome project that I whole heartedly believe in. I've been blessed with the opportunity to travel, be around music that I love, and grow as an individual AND get paid for it. So...yeah. Thats me.
