Twice I turn my back on you
I fell flat on my face but didn't loose
Tell me where would I go
Tell me what led you on I'd love to know
Was it the blue night
Gone fragile
Was it both men
In wonder steady gone under
Was it the light ways
So frightening
Was it two wills
One mirror holding us dearer now
Thought I had an answer once
But your random ways swept me along
Colossal signs so I got lost
With so many lovers singing soft
Was it the blue night
Gone fragile
Was it both men
In wonder steady gone under
Was it the light ways
So frightening
Was it two wills
One mirror holding us dearer now

Still I Rise - Maya Angelou
A poem that's immensely important to women, and POC – I love the strength and defiance in the language. Maya Angelou was quite the woman.
--
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 sou
For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield
There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking' their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly saying, "hooray for our side"
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody loo
Lover To Lover - Florence and the Machine
I've been losin' sleep,
I've been keepin' myself awake,
I've been wandering the streets,
For days and days and days,
Going from road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lover,
And black to red,
But I believe,
I believe
There's no salvation for me now,
No space among the clouds,
And I feel I'm heading down,
That's alright,
That's alright,
That's alright..
That's alright..
And I've been taking chances,
I've been setting myself up for the fall,
And I've been keeping secrets,
From my heart and from and from my soul.
Going from road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lover,
Black to red,
But I believe,
I believe
There's no salvation for
Alas I Cannot Swim - Laura Marling
There's a house across the river
but alas I cannot swim
And a garden of such beauty
that the flowers seem to grin
There's a house across the river
but alas I cannot swim
I'll live my life regretting that i never jumped in
There's a boy across the river
with short black curly hair
He wants to be my lover
and I want to be his peer
There's a boy across the river
but alas I cannot swim
And I never will get to put my arms around him
There's a life across the river
that was meant for me
instead I live my life in constant misery
There's a life across the river
but I do not see
why I should please those who will never be pleased
