I am so so sad that Maya Angelou is dead. She was such an inspiration and I really connected with her poetry when I studied her for A Level English Literature. Maya reaffirmed for me that the colour's of one's skin is a badge of pride that makes one phenomenal. From Maya, I learned that it is possible to rise against oppression and overcome the demons of the past. Also, even though, one can sometimes feel caged by society, it is still possible to sing and fight for freedom. The world has truly lost an incredible woman. RIP.
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.
