Kissing the air with every breathe you give
Closing your eyes, untainted by the lies
Speaking softly with your gaze
Flushed cheeks, revel in purity

Revealing innocence from your heart
Handing it over and mind and soul, careful
Have no idea of what you'll become
Strong girl, better woman than anyone

You step through mud and soil
Spirit undiluted like water and oil
Unkissed by the mirror of an altered image
Unwilling to fall in their pit of norm

Beautiful punk,  prep, or church girl
Don't let them tell you what makes you just right
A size 2, a 7, a 15, or 20
The jealous words of others have slayed many

Don't look in the mirror and see what they say
You're clairvoyant and  lovely to their dismay
To you woman, I write you an ode of love
Resilient as a hawk and delicate as a dove

Move forward, undaunted soul entrancingly flaunted.
