PHENOMENAL WOMAN

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.

Well HELLO there!!!

Man...its been awhile huh? LOL. Sorry, just really haven't been in the mood to share anything going on. Lots of "crap" has happened and I've just been in a mood. Not sure exactly what kind of mood, but definitely a mood. Good news......I know it will get better. So for a quick re-cap.....my friendship with Amanda is OVER. All over some bullshit that I think might have been caused by Terrance but regarless...its done with. I think he made the situation worse but either way it needed to happen eventually. Details??? Yea we're just not even going to go there. lol.
Um...let's see....Sam and I ended up getting together. Yea that lasted about a week. Seems once again I was made a fool of in my relationship. See, I don't know how he could be with me when the whole time he had another girlfriend back home. Yea so....that ended pretty quickly.
Work has been stressful. Our company was bought out by Level 3 Communications which means NO job stability. I haven't started looking yet b/c there are a lot of things still up in the air but I do plan on starting the search soon. Its hard though b/c I really do love my job and my co-workers. Oh well...time to move on.
Started school this semester....FUN, FUN...NOT! I remember now why I never went to class in highschool. Actually its really not bad, I just wish I wouldn't have decided to start up while I have so many other things going on but it'll be alright. I just have to do a little time management.
Guess thats it for now. More tomorrow.
NITE!
