Maya Angelou- Still I Rise
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.

Truly Blessed my glass is half way filled
I may not be perfect but one thing that makes my brand unique is that i`m human and i`m going to have faults. So i`m going to enjoy life and have faith. One day i`m going to be blessed!
Wisdom
Everyone can be intelligent but it is the way you use it. One thing i have learned is that when making mistakes and being wise allows you to notice when your wrong and when you mess up ,the smartest thing to do is to learn from them and keep it moving. That is what makes a person creative, but the difference from everyone is the way that they handle them.
Beautiful
My brand is beautiful and to some others straight and curly is beautiful and ideal image. My brand is about beauty and being yourself.
