Unbreakable Spirit
My day to celebrate
Gathered with my closest and good friends
Glowing for several days
All I need
As a simple girl
For their presence on my birthday weekend
Made it memorable and joyous
Unbreakable Spirit
For six dreadful weeks I was judged
For I wear boot cut pants rather than a mini skirt
How I am a plain girl for the lack of cosmetics
How my handbag is micro fiber instead of designer leather name brand
How my hair is in layers that curls rather than straight
How my shoes are pumps rather than six-inch stiletto high heels
How my eye shadow is lucky penny 303 is instead of blue
How my brassiere are average style instead of push ups
How my ears are not pierced as I never wear earrings
How I do not use a facial foundation but a liquid illuminator
How my winter down coat covers my butt rather than short and non-down
Unbreakable Spirit
Called me the night before and the day after
Leaving no messages
That you equate to the infamous POS of my past life counterpart
My shield is up
Leave you out the door
To ignore all your calls
For I deflect your presence
To be impenetrable by your vileness
As you cannot steal my joy
