Maya Angelou

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.

I swear. This piece had me brimming with inspiration. Hope it wakes you up as much....

Sorry for being so inconsistent with the posts...But +2 is serious shit.

Random Poem

                          Playlist

You make me rock my head side to side

You make me smile even when I’m down

You’re just a click away my friend

You’re there in my head when I frown

My love, you are what keeps me sane

Your tune is what hovers on my lip

You can sing to me again and again

But still every time you have me flip

You are a keeper, you are my firewall

As you go up and down all through

I go up and down with you too

And even when you stop, you can still hear me coo.

Can I tell you a secret? A secret disclosed

As you sing your song every time

You make me want to fly away with you

You make me want to play my flute with your chime.

You’re still blaring out your tunes

As I run my words for you today

You make me want to write some more

As I flip through your play-list, pray.

 Wrote this some random day listening to this.

LOL

Have an awesome day you guys,

SAM B

Cos Life is like a box of chocolates

Because I love the wind carelessly blowing through hair starnds

Cos it never hurts to smile :)

Because it's beautifully taken

Cos Juno was epic and Michael Caera is a sweeatheart

Cos I strongly believe so

Cos I've never seen anything more beautiful

Cos I heart beaches and wish for one here

Cos I fell in deep love with this from a long time 

Cos this is the ONLY one I believe in

Cos rain boots and beatle brellas are so much fun :)

Cos I can't forget you two, no matter what I do
