Still I Rise

By
 

Loud is the silence 
as I can hear my heart beat 
Fear and sorrow are all I feel 
Alone, though surrounded by many 
Anger and his brother, hatred, 
are all they show 
I blame them not as I 
incited my own fiasco 
Giving wings to scoffers to soar 


Uncertain of what today sees in me 
Wondering what tomorrow thinks of me 
I take solace in my paper and pen 
Life still remains, so does hope 
Drowning in a pool of regret 
I realise I am my only lifeguard 


I sat, reminiscing on my awful past 
Wishing I had a better present 
Hopeful still, for the future 
has many days in it 
Awesome days are all I see ahead

 


Rocky has been the path 
Yes, I have fallen but still I rise 
I fell but my legs remain unbroken 
I wiped sorrow’s dust off my 
behind as I rose from failure’s ground 
And took the first step to my 
successful tomorrow

I thought I knew you! Till I realized I didn't know me You changed me Then left me clueless

In my world We were just three In my world I was King In my world My bones communicated with my mind Twisting and breaking without hurting The stage was my palace The audience, my people In my world Dance was life Casting away my cares as I moved to every beat In my world We were just three The DJ, my audience and I In my world Dance was life Music was breath In that world I lost my balance And broke my cord, The spinal one Will I dance again? I doubt so For in this new world I am the audience Another took my stage

This Song

By
A chorus resounds in my ears I recognize the voice I’ve heard it times before It has become my medicine A chorus resounds in my ears It gladdens my heart It calms my nerves The lyrics- my mantra! A chorus resounds in my ears Oh! How sweet the melody! That put me to sleep every night And opened doors to my beautiful dreamland A chorus resounds in my ears This song now lives in my memory For I no longer hear it at bedtime My mother, the singer, has gone to rest...in peace
