A Modern Woman's Credo

by maria-cordero

Am I beautiful enough? For the wicked and the damned To live without care To meet expectations force-fed unto me Am I beautiful enough? To walk the hall and make jaws drop To tempt Adam and live in Eden To bring the Archangel to his knees Am I beautiful enough? To be in magazine spreads To see my body in Times Square To make all women turn green Am I beautiful enough? So intelligence does not matter To be in the eye of the beholder To be loved To be free

Notes

This poem is still a work in progress. The original was accidentally erased, so I quickly came up with an alternative...one I'm not yet fully satisfied with. (I might even change the title. In fact, I already have something in mind)

EDIT: I changed the title. It originally was "Am I Beautiful Enough?"
