Review of I'll rise  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (1.0)
Still I Rise
Maya Angelou, 1928 - 2014
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 backyard.

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. Sorry I think you missed some! This does not belong to you. I would advise you give credit to where credit belongs.

Review of The Kid  Open in new Window.
Review by Writer of life Author IconMail Icon
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
Write On! I was the girl in the gang, I was with you every peddle of the the way, Just caught my breathe! I still am unsure if you were there or it was made up, but I would love to read more of your work. It is a powerful piece, The excitement of the ride, the warm summer day seeing who was braver or the possibility of the kid being on in the landing. Write On!!! I can't comment on the style, or grammar, I review and share if the piece is well written, fun and exciting to read. Thanks for sharing your skill, and for a great story!!!! Once again...Write on!
