She was a STAR!

She was a star,

A rising star

The main actor in the show that was her life.

Lights, camera, ACTION!

She was on display,

Displayed for all to see.

To marvel at her magnificence,

Her aura.

The beauty that was her smile,

The confidence that she wore,

Draped so gracefully on her being,

From head to toe,

This was HER life.

It was HER show,

And she was a STAR.

A rising star!

This is a piece about SELF. It is a piece about owning your life and your space. It is a piece about having confidence in yourself and who you are. It is a piece about standing tall despite what the world might see and despite their glaring eyes. It is a piece about progress, about not quite being where you want to be but rising still.

It isn’t inspired by anything in particular, well nothing I am consciously aware of so I’ll end off here with this quote, “She attracted people to her; she had presence, an uncommon magnetism. Documenting her effect on her habitat, a naturalist would likely have compared her to a lioness: strong, sleek, and invariably surrounded by her pride.” – The Reluctant Fundamentalist
