Still I Rise
In such an abrupt stance, you wanted to wash me away,
Eliminate me like I never once been of consequence to you anyway,
Simply because I arose as a thorn beside you,
Keeping my moments locked away from their view.
But tell you what, honey, take a glance since I rose,
From the burned ashes, like the phoenix, still I rise.
Throughout the duration of history,
I rise again, right into your forbidden territory.
I sit alone, waiting right here for eternity,
No glint of light reaches my gloaming prison,
Lack of warmth resides in my vacant heart.
The world seems so cold, and too lonely.
Wish you could see me. And the way I rise,
Won’t that just make a tremendous surprise?
When you thrusted me into the ocean, so dark and dormant,
I still held on to my preliminary life that seemed to be slipping away,
Take a glimpse at my shattered soul, let me make you a deal.
You will find the darkness you wanted me to reveal,
Now, as I inhale, I promise you, I’ll still rise
Lucky for me, you never appeared out to be wise.
Evacuated all alone in a world where I had no...
Eliminate me like I never once been of consequence to you anyway,
Simply because I arose as a thorn beside you,
Keeping my moments locked away from their view.
But tell you what, honey, take a glance since I rose,
From the burned ashes, like the phoenix, still I rise.
Throughout the duration of history,
