Phenomenal Woman

Phenomenal Woman - Maya Angelou - One of my favourites.

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.

The Women

Was watching this movie yesterday. Its just another chick flick. Its a movie from 2008 but as usual it will be shown in HBO a year later and yes that's how i got to know about it.

The scene which actually captured my attention was when Bette Midler starts quoting Meg Ryan on Lea Miller's Secret To Life........... Don't give a shit about anybody.......Be selfish......Because once you ask yourself the question " What about me".....Everything changes for the better.......I mean after all, who are you and what do you want?......a short caption from the movie.

Seems like a very simple sentence right. But think about it, how many of us actually know what we really want. Food for thought aint it? Well happy thinking. Do some pondering or some soul searching perhaps......
