Gorgeous, Attractive, Beautiful, Pretty, Cute, Stunning, Hot, Sexy, isn’t it.

Well, it’s time the world discovered some new adjectives. An ode to all the fabulous women in the world!

If I Were A Word

If I were a word,

What would I be?

Quixotic Or Unapologetic;

Reliable Or Eccentric?

Rambunctious, boisterous or aggravating.

For that matter, I could also be

Phenomenal, exceptional, scintillating, dedicated or daring.

You could call me

Ballsy or antsy

Stubborn or egoistic

Independent and Self reliant

Zealous or Inspiring.

My mum thinks I am loyal

Dad says I’m loving

My brother calls me dominating

Very rarely understanding:

All depending on the kind of conversation we are having.

My bestie calls me nasty

Sometimes Snooty, Tactless, Cantankerous

With the manners of a Hippopotamus,

But even she agrees that I am a loyalist;

So many words this language contains

That are so me

Diplomatic drastic, always enthusiastic;

A little overzealous but fantabulously fantastic;

Fighter, shooter or wannabe writer.

So many words so many things.

That I can be:

So why should I choose

To be

Just pretty.
