Our Poem Today..... ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ STILL I RISE.... Maya Angelou ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ 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. ๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? Cause I walk like Ive got oil wells Pumping in my living room. ๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still Ill rise. ๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries. ๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป 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. ๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป 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. ๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป Does my ********* upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like Ive got diamonds At the meeting of my *******? ๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป 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. ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ
