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,
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
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
im a complicated person..
i have my share of up's and down's..
i believe in saying im sorry everytime you hurt somebody's feeling.
i believe in forgiveness but i dont forget..
i always say i love you...
i believe that ice cream and chocolates are the best comfort foods..
i believe in love until it hurts no more..
i believe that beer runs to my veins....
im not a strong person as other people think i am..
i have experienced the most bitter pill of life but still naive at same time..
LOVE is my greatest down fall...(sad but true)
now,even before and so much more in the future im still leaving my life to the fullest!!!!=)
