Our Poem Today..... 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 STILL I RISE.... Maya Angelou 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, Ill rise. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? Cause I walk like Ive got oil wells Pumping in my living room. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still Ill rise. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 Does my haughtiness offend you? Dont you take it awful hard Cause I laugh like Ive got gold mines Diggin in my own back yard. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, Ill rise. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 Does my ********* upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like Ive got diamonds At the meeting of my *******? 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 Out of the huts of historys shame I rise Up from a past thats rooted in pain I rise Im a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak thats wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
