I Rise (to the challenge)
I WRITE
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may try your best to parody me
But still, without fuss, I write.
Does my sassiness perplex you?
Why do you reset this poem
’Cause I write like I own ink wells?
All of them, and you cant use ’em!
Just like morons and like puns,
Your the satire of having tried,
Just like hopes your effort aims too high,
Its Still my write.
Did you want to make me token?
Abridged, unread or lower my rhymes?
Should your failing drown in teardrops,
We can all see your conquered cries.
Does my pure prowess offend you?
Don’t, you make it way too hard,
’Cause I last like I’ve got the times
Dangling on my every word.
May take a shot at me with your words,
You may cut and paste my two lines,
Be killing me with your tactlessness,
But still, youll dare to write.
Do my linguistic skills upset you?
Dont act like you surmise
That I draft like Its not rough
Words in pen and do it right?
Out of the Lit of history’s hall o fame
My write
It is a piece that’s rooted in brains
Through time
I’m a black icon, sweeping ,
Compelling and unquelled I barely try
Leaving behind flights of readers in chills
I write
Into a pagebrake with words clear
I write
Bringing the gifts that my teachers gave,
I am supreme and dope, i slay. Cause
I write
I write
I write .
Maya Angelou is as supremely talented as she is passionate and I’ve written this butchering of her masterpiece from the view of her mockingly calling me out for not doing it justice.
