You may bring me down Try to hurt and torture my soul You may bring me to the ground But like the wind I will carry through. Does my happiness upset you? Why are you so selfish? Cause I am strong and independent I have the capability to do anything I desire. Just like gravity in space With everything trying to pull me down, Just like the momentum to keep going I will carry through. Do you want to see me hurt? Give up on everything I have worked for? My body falling to the ground, Weakened by the terror of the future. Does my happiness upset you? Don’t try to bring me down. Cause I am strong like I’ve got superpowers, Flying through the struggles of life. You may hurt me with your words, You may try to crush me, You may try to torture me, But still, like the wind I will carry through. Does my confidence upset you? Does it come as a surprise? That I have the capability to do anything I put my heart to, At the moment that is right? Out of the struggles of life, I carry through. Up from a past buried in cries, I carry through. I’m a blue ocean, flowing and changing. Capable to bear the effects of the tide. Leaving behind all of the bad memories, I carry through. Into a world that I can call mine, I carry through. Putting the past behind me I am the one who represents the future. I carry through. I carry through. I carry through.

My Emulation of the Poem “Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou
You may bring me down Try to hurt and torture my soul You may bring me to the ground But like the wind I will carry through. Does my happiness upset you? Why are you so selfish? Cause I am strong and independent I have the capability to do anything I desire. Just like gravity in space With everything trying to pull me down, Just like the momentum to keep going I will carry through. Do you want to see me hurt? Give up on everything I have worked for? My body falling to the ground, Weakened by the terror of the future. Does my happiness upset you? Don’t try to bring me down. Cause I am strong like I’ve got superpowers, Flying through the struggles of life. You may hurt me with your words, You may try to crush me, You may try to torture me, But still, like the wind I will carry through. Does my confidence upset you? Does it come as a surprise? That I have the capability to do anything I put my heart to, At the moment that is right? Out of the struggles of life, I carry through. Up from a past buried in cries, I carry through. I’m a blue ocean, flowing and changing. Capable to bear the effects of the tide. Leaving behind all of the bad memories, I carry through. Into a world that I can call mine, I carry through. Putting the past behind me I am the one who represents the future. I carry through. I carry through. I carry through.
