**This is a poem I wrote for Youth Initiatives Project’s portion in an event for the Neighborhood Service Organization on the 25th at the Harper-Gratiot Multi Service Center (Y.I.P.’s main site). Just thought I would share it with all the readers of our Provocative Woman Campaign Blogs.
What is a lady? Someone who sets a positive example for everyone around her. One who inspires and gives, who cares and shares, who loves and forgives. One who does not hold grudges, for she sees the positivity in every situation. A lady is so much more than high heels, neat hair, and a nice fragrance. A lady should be beautiful inside and out, not just a species of the female gender. A lady is the equivalent of a lord; she is so much more than physical beauty. So take a tour of your mind and I’ll bet you’ll find the lady in you. That part of you that is so powerful. And what you need to do is take control of that part, let it shine bright, like a blinding light, for the lady in you is not that hard to find, because the beauty in us starts with the mind.

I love this poem. My favorite part is "for the lady in you is not hard to find, because the beauty in us starts with the mind"
I think that is especially the most important. Society makes so much products for females to use, such as make up, jewelry, clothes that shows alot of skin, etc. Most females uses it in a wrong way. These things to are to enhance their beauty, not so others can tell you if you look good in it or not. I really enjoy this poem, Micah!
