A Woman’s Crown
She is remarkable —
From the crown of her head,
to the soles of her feet.
Truly, commands attention every time that she speaks.
She dresses fierce,
And her shoes are only complements of the best.
Competition is a means for those who settle for less.
Because after all, why settle for what she can get,
when she gets what she wants?
But don’t fall for the illusion;
It’s only a front.
Although she has enough money in the bank,
And the gas in the car never reaches an empty tank;
Her mind is only an Instagram filter,
While her soul remains blank.
But she’s bad —
From the crown of her head,
To the soles of her feet.
Rocking the most expensive shoes,
But her inner soul is cheap.
Far beyond school years,
But she hasn’t reached any levels or tiers;
Because she’s so unaware that:
Everything that glitters isn’t gold;
And it doesn’t mean that it won’t rust or fade —
Many times, beauty will hide comfortably in the shade.
Please understand this:
A woman is not defined by the shoes she wear on her feet;
It’s the footsteps she takes and whether her destiny and purpose meets.
It’s not even the makeup she wears,
“Slaying” has nothing to do with how she styles her hair.
But does she have enough confidence to make you stop and stare?
Does her conversation bring you a breath of fresh air?
Is she taking care of her business?
Does she read, meditate or pray?
If her character doesn’t motivate you,
Then what role do you expect her to portray?
A woman’s crown can never be too heavy,
Because she will always hold the weight on her shoulders,
And it will never slow down her pace;
She walks with an incredible sense of unspoken grace.
After all, she knows what to do with her income and first fruit;
You can trust her with your secrets, your time and energy, because she only knows how to produce.
Believe she puts her hands to good use,
Because it shows forth in her time and investments;
The effect of having her by your side is nothing short of a blessing.
She is a giver and not a taker,
But don’t mistake her
For any one,
Because if her crown does fall,
It only tilts gently at her feet,
But she will dust it off, and moves forward without any sign of defeat.
