Exercising My Ego

(artwork: "Allure", Frank Morrison)

I was born in the mind of every man who has desired a good woman
I walk into a room and any man who catches my eye trembles from the wonder of me
I smile, and the sun shines; I weep and tears fall from the sky.
I walk, and as I pass, the seeds, planted as flowers, grow and begin to bloom

“I'm bad, yall!”

The electricity from my touch can light the world
The sweet nectar from my kiss can calm the angst and frustration of the most tormented soul
The melodious sound of my voice calms the stormy seas
The sway of my hips as I move has hypnotized the staunchest of critics
The natural glow of my skin has caused others to try potions, lotions and treatments in an effort to copy it

I am a most beautiful woman!

I am admired and fantasized about by all men (and some women)
The aromatic scent of my breath is sweeter than the most expensive cologne
When I inhale deeply, the trees shiver;
When I exhale, it is felt as the sweetest breeze
My random thoughts have produced the most wonderful inventions
My strength is constant and consistent, for it comes from God
I am so divine, so honored, so loved
In your wildest, most explicit dreams, you cannot fully comprehend my greatness

“I am so hip, even my errors are correct!”

What I mean to say is.....
I am beauty, personified
I am love, personified
I am wonderfully and magnificently created by God to be a divine original
I am HIS child, therefore I can be nothing less than the best!
