Still I rise (Maya Angelou)

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,
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'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
I rise
Up from a past that's 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 wondrously 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.

I've always felt strongly related to this poem. I'm in the middle of a crossroads in my life, and this poem helps me believe that no matter how bad things may get, I'll always get up and keep going...

me prometi hace un tiempo atras nunca mas poner el nombre de una cancin de titulo de un blog mio, ya que antes lo hacía, pero me acusaron de plagio......a pesar que nunc a quise plagiar el blog de nadie, hoy lo hago netamente porque estoy escuchando esta cancion que cumple dos funciones muy, pero muy importantes....

primero, me recuerda a la adorable persona que me la dedicó hace varios atrás, uno de las personas que más he querido, y todavía amo con todo mi corazón.... Che,esta es para vos...Solo vos sabés cuanto te extraño, cuanta falta me hace tenerte a mi lado, y cuanto te amo realmente..... Vos sabés.....de la tierra a la luna y de vuelta, no cierto?

segundo, la letra de esta canción me marca a otro nivel...... esa sensacion de tener a otro al frente y realmente saber......uff...

power....

el animo anda un poco mejor esta semana.....tuve a la monse too el finde aca y fue demasiao rico----
proximo encuentro, Curanipe!!!!! =D

saludos!

blah!

When did my life become what it is?
What moment in it decided that I would end up this way...
Did I do something wrong? Should I have done something differently??

Maybe I didn't want things enough....
Maybe I was so used to having things my way that I just assumed that all my dreams would come true..... just by wanting or wishing them.

Is wishing upon a star enough? Is working your butt off enough? Is stating to the world that you are a certain way because you WANT to enough?

I get the feeling that nothing's enough....

The fact that I'm 26 years old and nothing to account for, utterly sucks.....
At least my father stated that he is dissapointed in me because of it.....

And I definitely never thought my daddy would be dissapointed in me..... He was supposed to be my constant..... my everlating support....
All of a sudden, I don't know when, he just wasn't there any more.... Not there to listen, not there to give advice.... It's like his body is there, but his essence (the part that we had so in common, so alike) is gone....
who sucked it out??????
