"I Still Rise"
  by Syndel


I wouldn’t give up a lesson I have learned on this journey
Cause I have been

Ramshackle & tackled
Desolated & imitated
Strung & hung
Misdiagnosed & comatose
Depleted & defeated
Victimized & sodomized

But damn it ….
I still rise …………

I have become ……….

Joyful & lovable
Song & melody
Dreamer & quixotic

Foursquare & steadfast

Incandescent & bright

Prosperous & faithful

An yet
I will continue to rise

Awaiting the opportunity learn more

Im Gonna Be Ready - Yolanda Adams

Wow...Just when I think you've given us your best...You come back & crush your other masterpieces...Seriously can I borrow your pen even if it's just for a minute? I love the song & the backdrop too....Very powerful message...You're truly a powerful woman & a true survivor...Keep blessing us with your words...Much love & respect always...Not I have to hide the tears...Thank you for breaking a brother down...LOL
