Phenomenal Woman

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,

    swag yolo or yolo swag? amyways heres a poems i found: and i dont know why but you poems people take this website too seriously...


    Poop

    poop is such a relief to do
    getting rid of all the crap in you

    food in your mouth
    shit out your south
    the cycle relentessly continue

    whether many or a few
    turds in you
    eject easily or slowly drag thru

    daily it's the same
    as your bowels proclaim
    'once again the shit is due! '

    this poem isn't profound
    about that lovely brown mound
    some in fact will think it crap
    and i humbly agree
    with all that's bottled up
    inside me

    I love this poem... this was the poem that saved my sisters life when she almost committed suicide. I owe my sisters life to the Phenomenal woman who wrote this.

    While there appears a great plethora of individual responses in this comment section lol I suppose it just highlights the truth of Maya's poem.
    when woman who is woman and who knows that she is woman, put forth her self belief, people cannot help but feel the urge to communicate and respond.
    For the essence of a Woman is to be a woman. and the essence of a man is to be a man, and the essence of a commenter...... is to comment: D
