Your negativity is neutralized
For I grow in silence
Like trees
I fall
But I rise again in May
In spite of your lies
Or what you may say

I found peace
In solitude

In introspect
And quiet
I can see my flaws
Clearly
I gave myself
To the undeserving
Or so I think?

I gave myself
I gave my best
I carry this baggage
Of
No regrets
Regardless of the outcome
I know I'm blessed

I'm grateful
For the life I have
I can see in the mirror
Knowing
Who will stand with me
No matter what

I know myself
Abandoned
But not alone
Not a soul beside me
Everything I need
Inside me

I germinate
From my own seeds
Their smiles
The only motivation I need
I know the drill
Sun light and chlorophyll
H2O and inner work
I have been a ****
Soliloquy has it's perk

I have been here before
And I made it through
Against all the odds
Me against the world


You can hold it against me
You can count my wrongs
I will count your rights
No more be nice
I have paid the price
No surprise
And I will look with my life with no regrets
Meeting you was nice

Still I rise
Semi auto biographical and an Ode to Maya Angelou
