I love the way, she
walks with confidence.
Head up because it takes
a lot to put her down.

She’s a princess, no a queen.
Doesn’t matter because she’s still royalty.
Smile lights up the universe
as does the Mighty sun.

She loves herself for every
Reason possible. Is she conceited?
No she’s blessed with a gift,
no girl her age posses.

She wears her flaws like
Jewelry and goes by a code:
If you don’t love yourself who will?
You’re perfect in every way; no matter what he, she, or they say.


The author's comments:
Monique expresses her admiration of this girl’s attitude towards herself. In every stanza she commends her more and more for her confidence. She describes her approval of the girl loving to love herself. She uses enjambment to emphasize the first or last word of a line. She ask the question “is she conceited” with the intention to get the readers to mentally answer it; then she states boldly without a doubt the girl is not. She chooses to capitalize words like “Mighty” to emphasize how mighty she thinks the girl is.
