I’m more than just a pretty face.
I giggle at inappropriate times, wear combat boots with surgical attire, give birth to scientific ideas and a child with equal passion.
I love shoes and pretty things, and politics and business affairs. I am international and global, but I can make the most comfortable of homes.
Knights in shining armor need apply, I don’t need saving today. I am my own champion.
I require real love with passion and companionship based upon respect and equality. Equality. That’s what I need.
I have a strong heart and a soft soul, tender words for the dying and an unbreakable devotion to my children.
I am many things, but I am not weak.
The tears that run from my eyes do not illuminate tremors in my spirit, rather they shine the light on the courage that it takes to be vulnerable.
I am not against men. I seek respect deserved by a gender just as powerful, just as relevant. My strengths lie deep within my heart, though my physical shell tends towards the delicate.
Don’t dismiss me from the world stage because I am a girl.
Welcome me, because I can help make this place so much better.
