Madonna In A Dominant World-Part 3

Madonna In A Dominant World-Part 3

I am a black sheep, a dark horse, a red-headed stepchild.

I am also a dreamer, a wisher, a wannabe.

I long for the days when I can be who I aspire to be...

A heroine, a beauty queen, a superstar.

I know life has dealt me a difficult hand...

And I've made the best of it so far.

I dream of the time when I can unleash the diva inside of me...

A confident woman with a dazzling personality who walks like the world is her own red carpet.

Someday I'll be that woman I envision in my mind.

I'm not giving up on her just yet.

Why should I?

I've made great progress to get where I am.

I'm not willing to stop now, nor am I wanting to go back to who I was before.

She is a goddess...

She is an unstoppable force...

She's brave, she's strong, she's passionate, and she's undeniably herself.

She is the woman I long to be.

And I have faith that someday, she will be me.

Laundromat

Laundromat

Where your clothes get clean, but your inner workings remain unchanged.

So you're doing laundry...

Time to clean your shirts, pants, and unmentionables.

If only we could clean the non-material items in our lives the same way.

Guilty consciences from hidden affairs, angry words said in the heat of the moment, tear tracks from broken hearts and lonely souls.

If only those could be washed away...

Cleansed into something much different.

Laughter in the background of get togethers, smiles from random strangers, kindness given freely and accepted without suspicion, and love passed around from one person to another, and another, and another until there's nothing but hope shining through for all to see.

If only the world could be healed like laundry can be washed.

It may do wonders for the outside, but on the inside, we're all still stained.

Madonna In A Dominant World-Part 2

Madonna In A Dominant World-Part 2

Remember that woman I told you about?

You've seen her...

You've met her.

You might dream about her, or about being with her.

You might even have a personal connection with her.

As for me?

I often question my ability to become her.

Is it too late for me?

Will I ever see her reflection in my eyes?

I long for the day when she finally comes out to play.

How long will she stay?

Will her appearance be quick and fleeting?

Will she become a permanent part of me?

I want to keep her close and learn all her secrets.

Whatever it takes to show her off and prove to the world that I can be her.

Who knows?

Maybe I'll teach her a few new tricks of my own.

One day, I'll be able to thank her for bringing out the best in me.

Because she's meant to be seen...

And I'll make sure she is.

Let me tell you about this woman...

We all know someone like her.

She's just a simple woman...

Who is also very complicated to figure out.

She's a woman of many contradictions.

Her passion is intense, yet she is calm.

Her spirit may be rogue, yet she is down to earth.

Her allure is divine, yet she is grounded.

Her anger may be quiet, yet her unspoken respect screams loudly.

I dare you to question who she is and what she brings to the table.

Her ambition and her strength...remarkable.

Her beliefs and her morals...unquestionable.

Her words are inspiring and her thoughts are provocative.

Her confidence is surreal and her talents are mesmerizing.

Watch this woman work her magic.

She reeks of charisma and exudes mystique.

She takes in hope and breathes out destiny.

She dares to dream and she lives to believe.

She's an enigma that we all seek in ourselves.

She is the ideal that we all aspire to reach.

She's envied by many, desired by few, and respected by all.

The question isn't whether or not you know her...

It's "Is she in you...or are you in her?"
