i am the woman / i am the girl

Littlewriterr

i’m the woman who enjoys intellectual, philosophical debates, discussions with like-minded people the one who sits in a corner doing nothing except reading i’m the woman who finds old things who collects them who thrives in them vintage the colour of my soul i’m the woman who carries tea bags around, in every bag who laughs when her friend says, “ people would expect condoms” i’m the woman who has a bucket full of advice, strong opinions, hard truths i’m the woman who smiles warmly with a slight frown when she’s called an old woman a granny i own it though wear it like a crown i am also a girl who gets frenzied at the sight of skittles the one who hypes her friends on the dance floor i’m the girl filled with mischievous ideas adventure dancing in my skin impishness the colour of my heart impractical stubborn loud my best qualities i am the woman i am the girl who’s been called a weirdo so many times it has become my middle name i own it my best quality i wear it like a crown 31
