I’ve built myself up to be this strong, radiant bombshell, yet even in my power, I’m treated like I’m disposable.
The whispers, the silent jealousy, & the dismissive looks – it’s wild how your appearance can make others see you as a threat, even when your heart is pure.
Friends, family, coworkers, & even ex-partners have; at some point, found a way to alienate me as if my beauty somehow robs me of depth or substance.
People love to admire attractiveness, but rarely do they want to embrace the person behind it. They look at me, but they don’t see me. The world tells you that beauty should be celebrated, but it never warns you that it can make you a target for cruelty and exclusion.
But here’s the thing: my exterior doesn’t define what’s truly inside. I choose to be unapologetically myself. If that makes me ruthless in protecting my peace, then so be it.
I take pride in walking my own path. I’ve been here for myself long before anyone else. Since I was young, I knew my strength & my worth. A keen sense that I was destined for greatness beyond what most could imagine.
So, I continue the fight – for every gorgeous & intelligent woman who has been silenced or sidelined.
Cheers to the real. To the unbreakable. To the beautiful, inside & out. They may try to take from what they see, but they can never break a goddess – & they’ll never break my soul.
