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.

She still is a little girl

Childhood is measured out by sounds & smells and sights, 

before the dark hour of reason grows - John Betjeman

She stands alone in the middle of nowhere.

All alone with no one to care.

She does not let anything come near her,

Or let any emotions touch her.

For she had a door,

A door of detestation to shields her.

All she wants is to be a superwoman,

Superwoman with a heart of stone,

Yet unaware of what to do with all those undisclosed desires,

Desires of her knight in the shining armor.

She is the strongest one in front of everyone;

But when alone she cries like a baby for the smallest of thing.

She will pretend to be the wisest & Miss “Know it all”

Though secretly she knows she’s got lots to learn.

She takes care of everyone while she curbs her soul desire of getting pampered,being loved.

She wants to be all grown up and be "the" woman but she still is "a" little girl.
