Wish List

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, 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.

Maya Angelou


 

About

My name comes from the book "The Vampire Lestat." A sabbat is a huge fire that people throw themselves into. I like talking about books, sex, and psychology. I don't know a whole lot about politics, religeon, and science, but I like talking about them to one or two people, and I like people telling me about it. If you tell me something I don't know, I'll love you forever. When it comes to religeon, I do know the reasons for religeon, or why it's useful, and I don't want to be converted, but I will discuss it with you. Politics, convert me. I like it when people try to convert me to their political party. Science is great, but I suck at math, so you'll have to explain any math you use. If you're under 15, I'll talk to you and be your friend, but please don't talk to me about Hannah Montana or Raven. I don't like either of them, and I have to watch enough of them at my dad's house.

That's ok, I understand. I'd have to say Interview With The Vampire, you?
