“Still I Rise” Sha’kamrie Howard

ALONE Maya Angelou.I liked this poem because it shows that I do not have to depend on anyone for anything. I can do everything by myself with just the materials I need.

Refusal Maya Angelou.I liked this poem because its okay to refuse negativity. I can use my hand my feet for joy and have fun by myself without any interruptions. You can have fun and not be around aggravation.

Still I Rise Maya Angelou. This poem was so helpful to me because people can lie on me & right me down but through it all I will “Still Rise”. If anyone criticize me all I have to do is stand high and keep moving forward.

Alone Lying, thinking

Last nightHow to find my soul a home

Where water is not thirstyAnd bread loaf is not stone

I came up with one thingAnd I don't believe I'm wrong

That nobody,But nobody

Can make it out here alone

Alone, all alone

Nobody, but nobody

Can make it out here

alone.

ALONEThere are some millionairesWith money they can't useTheir wives run round like bansheesTheir children sing the bluesThey've got expensive doctorsTo cure their hearts of stone.But nobodyNo, nobodyCan make it out here alone.

“ALONE” Alone, all aloneNobody, but nobodyCan make it out here alone.

aloneNow if you listen closelyI'll tell you what I knowStorm clouds are gatheringThe wind is gonna blowThe race of man is sufferingAnd I can hear the moan,'Cause nobody,But nobodyCan make it out here alone.

“ALONE”Alone, all alone

Nobody, but nobodyCan make it out

here alone.
