“Phenomenal Woman” by Maya Angelou, a very empowered woman one that understands what its like to love yourself. In general this is a very empowering poem to women, it shows them all the things they should love about them self. It shows that no matter what a women has they are still a women, whether they have big hips or small lips or anything someone believes to be different or not attractive, they still are a women, and they should be proud of it, no matter what. Women are truly phenomenal because they live each and every day passing people that talk about them as they pass. It may make them feel inferior but this poem helps them realize that they don’t have to feel that way.
The speaker of this poem obviously has a lot of confidence. She would be able to stand tall and flaunt her whole body at a crowd of people laughing at her! Its a very empowering poem, it can show women of all ages and size that the first step to being phenomenal is confidence! Confidence in yourself really shows how you feel about yourself, than it is projected towards other people. They pick up a certain aura about a confident women, or any gender in that manner. She’s so confident that she has the power to brings men the their knees. They are shocked by her confidence in herself,
This poem made me honestly feel proud to be a women. Though many people may bash on the gender, thinking females are weak, and don't have much purpose in life, this poem shows that women live for themselves, to be themselves, and to be fierce when doing so! No one should have to impress anyone else, they should act and look the way they want to! The way they feel comfortable, they have to walk in their own body, no one else does. Its a much better trip when you enjoy how you get there.
She mentions that she's not bowing her head, she's explaining why, like many other women, that she is not shameful of herself. She knows she's amazing. She has no reason to worry, even if someone tried to bring her down, as long as she believed she was awesome she would stay awesome. Its sad to know that many people base their thoughts of themslf on what other people think or say about them, especially when it’s negative. The speaker is saying to love yourself, be proud of who you are. This is a great message to I believe a lot of teenagers who always pick and choose what their least favorite body part is and how much they hate themselves.
I find that being confident not only boost your own spirits, but it give people around you a better view of yourself. I try my best to be confident in what I do, I make sure to keep my head held high. Of course, I have my down days, everyone does, but I quickly pick my head back up. I hope i’m never the reason that someone stops being confident in themselves, if anything I would want to bring their confidence up. It is such an amazing feeling to be able to walk past a bunch of people and not have to worry what they think or feel about you, because you only care about what you think of yourself.
