'You may shoot with words
you maycut me with your eyes
you may kill me with your hatefulness
but still, like air i'll rise...'

i've lost my mouth to tell how i feel about your poems but i'll get it back and tell you how i feel, when i rise

Fabulous work from a strong willful mind,
Maya, I prefer this to be on the top ahead of phenomenal woman.

'Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.....a reflection on struggles fought and won
I don’t have words to sign my feelings in length
