Still I shine

Still I rise by Maya Angelou inspired this poem


You may write me off in your closet
With your calumny and diatribes 
You may treat me down in your very traduce
And still like Venus I'll overheats the momentum 
I shine 
Still I shine 
Does my sauciness belch your outrage 
Why are you impounded with doomsday?
Tis my gigantic leap your nebula beyond the golden valleys 
Still limping in your mottled ass and Achilles heels 
Just like morons and buffoons in their meagre mires
With the certainty of their immaculate nebula 
Just like waning tides of the beautiful springs 
Still I overheats like Venus 
Did you goof in your wildest ass and macabre humor?
Malignant head and malignant feet
Dropped shoulders with cringing navel
Dreary weakneed grimacing over forlorn sooth
Does my unruly cheeks with the grimdeath of the machismo draw your disconsolate ire?
Tis thy gold mine in the nocturnal strike forlorn amiss
Your beautiful orchards with striking apple and grapevine turns stale
Dreary eyes blistering hardly cut down 
The beautiful orchards 
Where the avarice fell off his crimson 
And tides and metaphors with quirky cannon balls 
Decelerate haughty moist in your denigration of beautiful vines
Still like Venus I overheats 
I shine 
Does my momentum seems to bother?
Does my unruly dreams ever shoot down your glowing sky?
That laughs maybe bellyaching than mere belly laughed 
At the meeting of sordid cheeks
Coast home upon the waning tides of checkered antecedence 
I overheat
I shine 
Am a blackamoor beyond the nebulous nebula of prostrating negritude 
Swollen feet bred and bears the fangs of freedom 
Not allay driven to the allusion of broken reeds
Leaving behind thighs of scented serfdom and terrifying ghosts 
Like Venus I overheats 
Momentum barely fails me
As if like from the sorcerer's stoop
I overheat
I shine 
Beyond the beautiful roses 
Beyond the beautiful spring 
I shine 
I shine 
I shine 
Still I shine
