Audaciously Mundane

She,

She wore an aura about her.

Making the runners halt in their tracks,

Leaving the poets speechless,

And blinding the artists.

She,

She was not triumphantly strong.

She was not unprecedentedly intelligent.

She was not undoubtably beautiful.

But she,

She attacked more quickly than the Python.

She asserted more powerfully than the God.

She marched with a purpose bolder than the Emperor's.

She,

She was undeniably,

Unapologetically,

And unequivocally,

Herself.

And that--

Terrified them all.
