Poem Commentary

Rise above all hatred which is brought upon you, speculative harshness from others can most times ovetake a persons mind & lead to downfall. Overcome, rise, & shatter that evil & you will continue to make progress over all of those wrong people & they will look up to yu......

Still I Rise...

I shit intense confidence, i piss sheer excellence,
I eat up my oppressors then i vomit out the pestilence,
No im not a perfect man so you cant say im heaven sent
im better yet benevolent so that would be irrelevant.
Approach each step with caution so my last step is evident,
Never will i settle at the bottom like a sediment,
Ill always keep my head up to the sky remaining eminent
so zealous unlike my enemies so i dont share the sentiment....but still i rise.

Mentally im derranged, clinically im insane, so hard
to block this heavy rain behind this small window pane,
Contemplating about how ill proceed in life is joggin
on my brain, its all wear n tear but steady moving like a train.
Only it aint going nowhere really its stuck between a crevace,
My whole plan of thought is yielding me its so rebellious,
I dont know where ill go from here but im not giving up its
hard enough just shieding up this evil ive been lifting up....yet still i rise.

I got it under control now as im maintaining my composure,
Insults of evil i hear from devilish deeds risk to bad exposure,
I pay them no mind now as i make my way to becoming dominant,
I realize my enemies want to be me so ill remain prominent,
None of them cant stop me nor deprive me of my beautiful shine,
They can only collect the dust & gravel from my feet this time,
My power over all you clowns project limelight thats so glorious,
Now look up at me cowards im that guy thats now victorious........Still I Continue To Rise!

another great write, the flow is superb and it really speaks to me, about rising up and taking a stand against the world, against being opressed and ridiciuled , you just need to rise up and know in the end you will be victorious.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
