STILL I RISE

I use my creativity to rise above all negativity
I'm only interested in upliftment and positivity
I'm trying to keep all negative energy far far away
Worldly forces attempt to steal my peace everyday

As I lay down crosses that I use to bear on my back
Luciferian agents keep trying to put them all back
I've racked up mileage on a body that's now weary
But my protective deflector goes by the name of poetry

Vigilantly she stays on guard protecting me from harm
Giving me the strength to maintain some semblance of charm
Shadow boxing with GOD to train for future wars
Building an arsenal of words to minimize my scars

Looking to the stars at night as they shine bright
Observing the moon too & absorbing lunar light
Gaining some foresight of fights that may arise
As I recite Maya Angelou's poem of "Still I Rise"
