If I prove myself
Intelligent
Does that make me more than just
Eye candy
For you to
Bite down on
When I swing my hips and
Lick my lips
Do I lose A little
Respect
Is my reputation wrecked
If I have an opinion
On the decisions of our
Nation
Do I look a little less
Sexy
A little less soft
If I put shimmer on my chest and
Push up my breasts
Does that make me intellectually behind
If I push play on one
Must the other
Rewind
NO
Because I'm a woman with long legs and
Purple toes
And when I open my mouth my
Mind flows
While the swell of my breasts attracts you
Sexually
The strength of my personality keeps you
Permanently
My conversation sparkles with
Passion
And in the face of humor my laughter will
Crash in
SO
Kiss me for my
Sexy curves
But
Love me for my
Way with words.

this is very interesting... it reminds me a bit of maya angelou's "phenomenal woman". i especially like the last line- this is a sentiment women today struggle with.

Wow. Nice piece you've written here. I enjoyed the last part especially. It's like a statement that all females shout out, yet with a poetic twist. Great work!
-
This was really good. It shows the attitude of a true independent and cool woman...not sure about badass though, but then again, it only has to have one of the three...and this one has two.
Good luck in my contest! -
I really like the end. It shows your boldness.
