LOSS

The day he moved out was terrible-
That evening she went through hell.
His absence wasn’t a problem
But the corkscrew had gone as well.

STILL I RISE

You may write me down in history
With your bitter,twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still likedust,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 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 some suprise
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 thats 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 wonderously 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
