Living Till I Drop Dead......
(for the ones who think they have seen enough)

Alone, hurt & victim of frustrations,
Feelings dead & stingy perceptions.

Numb with burden of expectations,
Heart heavy with broken dreams & aspirations.

Stiffled sobs & endlessly rolling tears,
Future & mind gripped with nebulous fears.

More wrongs I see, than rights,
Like there's no dawn to this night.

The truth haunts me like the lies,
I despise black & i despise white.

I lack the guts to end it all,
Walking,walking till I fall.
Uncertain of my destiny & end,
I'm living till I drop dead......

good one charu..................but i would love to see something cheerful and happy........life is not that bad..........there r good things arround u too........... i am posting this poem to u.........of cuorse it is not written by me..........this poem is my strength.......let it be yours too....

U 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 u?
Why are u beset with gloom?
‘coz 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 u 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?
‘coz 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,
U 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 ear,
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wonderfully clear,
I rise
Bringing the gifts that ancestor gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave!
I rise
I rise
I rise.
