HE LOVES ALL OF ME

CHAPTER 4 BEAUTY DISCOVERED

You may write me down in history 

With your bitter, twisted lies, 

You may tread me in the very dirt 

But still, like dust, I'll rise. 

Does my sassiness upset you? 

Why are you beset with gloom? 

'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells 

Pumping in my living room. 

Just like moons and like suns, 

With the certainty of tides, 

Just like hopes springing high, 

Still I'll rise. 

Did you want to see me broken? 

Bowed head and lowered eyes? 

Shoulders falling down like teardrops. 

Weakened by my soulful cries. 

Does my haughtiness offend you? 

Don't you take it awful hard 

'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines 

Diggin' in my own back yard. 

You may shoot me with your words, 

You may cut me with your eyes, 

You may kill me with your hatefulness, 

But still, like air, I'll rise. 

Does my sexiness upset you? 

Does it come as a surprise 

That I dance like I've got diamonds 

At the meeting of my thighs? 

Out of the huts of history's shame 

I rise 

Up from a past that's rooted in pain 

I rise 

I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, 

Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. 

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear 

I rise 

Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear 

I rise 

Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, 

I am the dream and the hope of the slave. 

I rise 

I rise 

I rise

Still I Rise by Mya Angelou

Chapter 4

She opened her eyes as the day broke. As she woke up she smiled, welcoming the new day. She turned around suprised to see Shawn next to her. Sitting up and pushing the covers off her self, she stood up and went to the bathroom.

Another day in the office and she was excited to start. Even more excited to see Cam. All she did was think about him and the things he said to her. Not sure if ready to leave Shawn but wondering of the possibilities of her and and Cam.

He was making it so hard for her not to fall for him in that way. What she was really looking forward to was kissing him again and exploring her feelings. Even him touching her felt different its as if everything about him was new to her and she was loving it.
