Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders fallen like tear drop eyes
Weaken by my Soulful Cries
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't You Take It Awful Hard
'cause I laughed like I've Got Gold Mines
Digging In my Own Backyard
You May Shoot Me with Your Words
You May Cut Me with Your Eyes
You May Kill Me with Your Hatefulmess
Bit still, like air, I'll rise.
Don't My Sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I got DIAMONDS
At the meeting of my THIGHS?
Attention: Maya Angelou
