DEMURE

Hey just visited Keitetsi's Blog (Hope I got the spelling right), there's a set of Maya Angelou poems there. There's one on 'woman'. it touched me in places i've known I have for some time. I wonder why I don't get that am special and not for meddling with. I might be getting it but too slow for my liking. I can tell am making progress by the fact that i don't make as many excuses for the brothers as much as I used to.

Secret: I used to carry boys' bags instead of the buggers carrying mine. Is your mouth open in shock, don't worry, when I think about it, I open my mouth voluntarily.

Oh, and i don't whine(out loud) anymore. From now on, i shall know no fear, chins up ladies. Let me share with you my new resolutions (clears throat).No wonder am striving to be demure; its my calling! My destiny, who I am.
1. No more talking too much. I am demure.
2. No more talking too loud. I am demure.
3. No inniciating conversation in a room of quiet people. I am demure.
4.No thinking I can save the world. I'll be too busy filing my nails and being. . . . .(all of us). . . . demure.
5. No more wearing jeans. Elegance; high heels, swishing skirts. . .u know how we do. Demure
6. No more demanding to climb the trees with the boys. My role in life will be to sit back and be catered to. You guessed it: demure.

Hmm, what else do demure people do for a living? A second, let me look it up. Hey. The definition's pretty interesting, to me anyway:(of a girl or woman) behaving in a way that does not attract attention to her or her body.

Hmm...how does a bootylicious person like 'yours truly' work on the second part. I mean, I make even sack cloth look good? The first part's easy. I'll just stop talking and the attention goes. But the second...

This needs more thinking about than I thought it would. Let me think some more and I'll get back to u. Demure
