A Letter to the Demons

Oh you demons

Who shoot the arrows,

In my back piercing through my chest;

It is full of those;

And yet you lose the string and stab me again;

But let me tell you;

I never kneel before you;

I stand firm and steady;

Barrage me with your arrows;

Test me to limits;

Poison them and hit me again;

I yet will not fall;

Though I do, I’ll rise;

Stronger and bolder;

So don’t panic when your arrows stop effecting on me;

That only means that I am stronger than you are;

For I took everything that you gave;

Withstood it;

Fought back when I could;

Crumbled when I couldn’t;

But for once I got up;

I would never fall;

No matter how hard you hit me;

I will not fall!

Rise

I am a child of god!

I slip and try

I hustle and fail

But still I rise!

I make mistakes

But do not lay by the side

I compensate

And still I rise

Ah ha ha, the evil force me down

With bitter lies;

But just like wind

Still I rise!

You might boom my base

And cut my heart

But just like twin towers

Still I rise.

You might want me to cry

And laugh a little

But just like a joker,

I laugh!

You might want me to avenge my insult

I ain’t gonna do that,

Imma take it low,

Karma will show it though

And just like resurrection on the Day of Judgment

Still I rise!

You might pull me down

Saying I’m unbeautiful,

But just like rain

I vaporize and fall

Saying, still I rise.

Oh you so petty mind

Don’t try to hurt me now

No drama or any frown

Neither a crown

I rise

With my own self,

And let you know

There is hell lot of life in me

That I always will rise.

Moon Shine

I’ve shut my eyes so tight,

To not see the truth

Visible even to the blind eye!

For what is this vengeance?

That breaks down relationships;

Fabricates ego, uncouthness, and disruptions;

Pauperizing companionship!

Oh you so little boy,

Don’t prey to these anguish cerebral theory,

For it only are thou your apprehensions.

Rise above the dark side,

The moon here shines,

Beautifully and gloriously!

Purview your coming,

As it is as ravishing as the moon shine!
