Phenomenal Woman

Ahhh, things are not going my way. I got a C in my Biology test, which I am going to retake on Wednesday. Eww. I got a B+ in my Geometry test, but I got in trouble, so I want to retake that one again, too.
BUT, I have so many things on my mind. I decided to do something daring, and be honest, and positive, and be actually nice. I know I have been mean lately, but some people are just plain stupid, and they just get me mad. I want to like shake them, and throw them against something. But, I don't I count to 20. But, seriously, people.
Most of the time I can control myself, and other times I end up punching someone. lol
So, here is a poem, not written by me, but it's pretty cool. I like it. So, this week, I will be doing something daring for the weekend, and this whole week I'll be nice, smile more,I'll be as honest as I can, and I'll be nice. So there. You guys should do it, too. Come one, and tell me how it goes!


Phenomenal Woman

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.
-Maya Angelou
