You may write me down in history<br/>With your bitter, twisted lies,<br/>You may trod me in the very dirt<br/>But still, like dust, I'll rise.<br/>Does my sassiness upset you?<br/>Why are you beset with gloom?<br/>'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells<br/>Pumping in my living room.<br/>Just like moons and like suns,<br/>With the certainty of tides,<br/>Just like hopes springing high,<br/>Did you want to see me broken?<br/>Bowed head and lowered eyes?<br/>Shoulders falling down like teardrops.<br/>Weakened by my soulful cries.<br/>Does my haughtiness offend you?<br/>Don't you take it awful hard<br/>'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines<br/>Diggin' in my own back yard.<br/>You may shoot me with your words,<br/>You may cut me with your eyes,<br/>You may kill me with your hatefulness,<br/>But still, like air, I'll rise.<br/>Does my sexiness upset you?<br/>Does it come as a surprise<br/>That I dance like I've got diamonds<br/>At the meeting of my thighs?<br/>Out of the huts of history's shame<br/>Up from a past that's rooted in pain<br/>I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,<br/>Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.<br/>Leaving behind nights of terror and fear<br/>Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear<br/>Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,<br/>I am the dream and the hope of the slave.<br/><br/>im a complicated person..<br/>i have my share of up's and down's..<br/>i believe in saying im sorry everytime you hurt somebody's feeling.<br/>i believe in forgiveness but i dont forget..<br/>i always say i love you...<br/>i believe that ice cream and chocolates are the best comfort foods..<br/>i believe in love until it hurts no more..<br/>i believe that beer runs to my veins....<br/>im not a strong person as other people think i am..<br/>i have experienced the most bitter pill of life but still naive at same time..<br/>LOVE is my greatest down fall...(sad but true)<br/>now,even before and so much more in the future im still leaving my life to the fullest!!!!=) |
