"Phenomenal Woman" By Maya Angelou--Pretty woman wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to fit 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. Phnmnl 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. 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 phnmnlly. Phnmnl woman, that’s me. Men thmslvs 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 the arch of my back The sun in my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style.

To the first person to post, I know what this is and you answered it. The goat guy, I'm sure you would pick the goat. Please no more BS answers thanks. It is because of simple people that I posted something to remind the women who have been hurt, that they are worth more than what happened.

This sounds so familiar...I think I heard it from a movie once...
Anyhow, I think it's great.
It expresses a woman's inner feelings...Describing her inner beauty, saying you don't have to be skinny or perfect to be considered beautiful...Woman who have the confidence in themselves, the ones who find ever aspect of there body desirable...Just by reading it, boosted up my own self-esteem. Because, for awhile there I was thinking I had to be super skinny in order to be pretty.....this has really opened my eyes....It's inspirational.
Thanks for the reminder
& thanks for bringing back my confiedence :)
Take Care
& God Bless

That Maya Angelou has to get a life and quit being so full of herself. Is crap like that supposed to make you girls feel good, superior, fawned upon? If she and I were marooned on goat Island I'd pick the goat, Its not going to spout crap.

thats very inspirational. to me, it conveys the message that every woman is completely different from the next, but each and every one of them is a gorgeous female all their own by having confidence in themselves. confidence itself resonates into an unexplainable attraction that any and every woman can attain.

Start a support group. You would be good at that. But this is yahoo answers. So if you do not have a question, please leave us alone.
