I Shall Rise

I SHALL RISE Who said when you brush me aside, I'll not gather my gusts and form a tempest of ascent? Who said when you cast me away, I won't spray the aroma of my breath upon your palm? Who said when I wilt in the desert of solitude, I'll wane before I catch a glimpse of the oasis of hope? I'll rise, and rise from the ashes of beauty, Filled with antidotes of cheer and fortitude. I'll rise like wispy tendrils of heat, With the heat of triumph and move forward. I'll rise like a soaring eagle, That spots prey on its peak. I'll rise as towering as Mount Everest, And quell my rage with the coolant of ambition as my armor. I'll rise because your ridicule is the foundation of my rising. I'll rise to tell Mother Nature, I'm not the mold she shaped me in. I'll rise, 'cause rising is what can silence me. I'll rise, 'cause the sky is not my boundary.
