never thought myself special
pessimistic thoughts haunted dreams
nagging doubts clouded visions
believed dreams die into oblivion
never thought myself special
not until green-eyed pretenders
outed true feelings
venomous words falsified quiet passion
violent hands crushed brutal honesty
no threat to pretenders
why hurt the insecure pessimist?
think woman.
thought hard
thought objectively
thought subjectively
explored enchanting depths of my womanness
... burning tears ignited fiery passion
... fiery passion seduced inner beauty
... inner beauty aroused virile dreams
... virile dreams lifted visions high
felt alive! felt special! confidence emerged!
I became a confident woman.
