She isn't very big.
She isn't very smart.
She isn't very wild.
She isn't very magnificent.
She isn't very beautiful.
She isn't very confident.
But...
She is strong.
She is witty.
She is original.
She is clever.
She is independent.
She is fierce.
How haven't you noticed her?
She screams, "Brilliant!"
But she blends in.
She begs, "Pick me!"
Without a raised hand.
She cries, "Someone come get to know me!"
Yet she has stayed unknown for ages, and it will stay that way for all she knows.
She is a queen, without any followers.
She will rule the world, control it with her littlest finger, yet she will never wear a prom dress, or slow dance with a worthy boy.
Books and cleverness are her only friends, her favorite domain, and she treats them as friends should be treated.
She is quiet.
She is hidden.
She is special.
She is delightful.
She is fierce.
And she is waiting.
What are YOU waiting for?
