I Am Me

I am beautiful. I am unique.

I have the capability to bring anyone to their knees,

Just by using my intelligence and witty repartee,

I can easily be considered a little bit of a tease.

I am strong. I am powerful.

I don't lie down and wait for the whip to fall;

Rather, I stride forward with my convictions,

Fierce in my determination, stronger-willed than a fighting nation.

I am proud. I am bold.

I am not subtle when I voice my opinions,

And I am not shy when it comes to accepting compliments.

I know the kind of woman I am. And I love her.

I am coy. I am flirtatious.

I like to engage in harmless chatter,

Building another's confidence up,

Delighting in the mutual compliments.

I am playful. I am feisty.

I can be as hyper as a three year old,

Or as carefree as a college freshman,

Laughing, teasing, excitable and refreshing.

I am sensitive. I am gentle.

I handle things with care,

With respect and appreciation

Of it's beauty, background, and value.

I am compassionate. I am empathetic.

If you're hurting, I want to help;

If you're fearful, I want to calm you;

If you're crying, I want to soothe you.

I am meek. I am timid.

I don't seek to create waves or strife.

Drama has never interested me;

Mine or others', it can stay away.

I am an optimist. I am a believer.

I forever seek the silver lining

In a world where the clouds always pour,

Knowing that things can and will get better.

I am a lover. I am passionate.

I am unrestrained, wild and untamed,

Throwing myself into all that I do,

Body and soul combined in soaring to new heights.

I am dignified. I am a woman.

I am grace, beautiful, strong, and unshakable.

I will bend without breaking, recover from storms with aplomb,

And forever reach for the attainment of the epitome of 'womanly'.

I am curvacious. I am voluptuous.

I do not make excuses for who I am,

But rather learn how to accept me for me,

And flaunt my curves with effervescent charm.

I am scared. I am fearful.

I cannot handle rejection.

I cannot deal with harsh words and raised voices.

Like glass, I will shatter; yet I can be repaired.

I am beautiful.

I am a multitude of contradictions.

I will confuse you.

I will be truthful to a fault.

I will stay beautiful, inside and out.

I am me.
