If being a big girl constitute a height of less than 5″, I’m a big girl now

If standing up to my rights in any given situation, is a gauge, I’m a big girl now

If not answering calls, or texting back will not kill me, I’m a big girl now

If donning up mini skirts, body-hugging attires (evidently showing curves at the wrong places),

and shorts shorts, gives me confidence and “I don’t care” attitude, I’m a big girl now.

If I indulge in downing liquors and get intoxicated with no qualms about “chemical reaction”,

I’m a big girl now.

If I shrugged my shoulders to rumors, with eyebrows raised, I’m a big girl now.

If I pigged out on ice cream, pizzas, delicatessen, extra rice and sodas

and ignoring the scales, I’m a big girl now.

If going to bed without a stitch on gives me a sound sleep, to hell, I am a big girl now.

If I said no and it’s meant as a no, shucks, I’m a big girl now.

If I can make a memory to be just a memory, oh my, I’m a big girl now.

If I can dance and sing into a frenzy, out of tune and missing steps,

not mindful of stares, catcalls and smirks from the audience, absolutely, I’m a big girl now.

If I could turn my back to hurtful situations and licked my wounds in silence,

and not telling a soul, I’m really a big girl now.

Yeah, I’m a big girl now, despite and inspite of everything, bruises and scars

(emotional, physical, mental), humongous problems, irritants unwelcome PDAs

Truly and awesomely, not just a complete woman or lady for that matter,

but A Big Girl now.
