Still I Rise

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've 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 I'll 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?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've 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, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm 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 that's 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. 


That's a poem by Maya Angelou. Beautiful words. <3

Random

This poem is RANDOM. Just random flows in my head. 

When you wake up, I won’t be there.

Cause I now realize that you don’t care.

When you wake up, I’ll be gone

Being with you is no longer fun.

No more will I stress...

For you, I won’t pull out my Freakum dress!

Just yesterday you were my greatest desire

Now all you do is make me tired

Which one of us is to blame?

How did we screw up this love game?

I know you don’t want to lose me

But it’s time I set myself free

So I’m saying “Dueces” baby

You need to find yourself another lady ;)

Unfortunate---> Cloudy Mind

It's unfortunate...
What is, I don't really know
Everything just feels unfortunate
What is most unfortunate
Is the need of a cloudy mind to feel less unfortunate
How will it help?
What will it solve?
Questions I can't answer
A cloudy mind just feels necessary
To forget worries and smile
To laugh when you really want to cry
I wish there was a better way
I hope I find it someday
But till then, someone please help me cloud my damn mind! 

Shady Dealings

Why do you have to be so shady?
I thought you said I was your baby
You promised to treat me like your number one lady
Now all I get from you are maybes

Last night I saw a shooting star
Couldn't share it with you cause you were too far
Grabbed my keys and got in the car
Drove to you on a road with no tar

No one was up, I let myself in
It was so quiet, you couldn't hear a thing
Got up to your room, chucked my gum in the bin
Getting ready for my number one sin

But alas you were not there
Details of your life you never share
I always come to you stripped and bare
But shady dealings are your only care

Hope

When I am sad, and feeling all alone

And it seems the weight of the world is on my shoulders

Even Pink Panther can't make me smile,

There's something I can rely on

The hope that it'll get better

The hope that I'll smile again

The hope that someone will come along

And give me their all.

When I am down, I try not to let it bother me

Cause I know its gonna get really dark before it gets bright again

I'll say a prayer

I'll pick myself up and keep going cause of...

The hope that it'll get better

The hope that I won't need to cry anymore

The hope that someone will come along

And put a song in my heart.
