Maya Angelou Poems Full Of Hope

The first, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969), tells of her life up to the age of 17 and brought her international recognition and acclaim.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak thats wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave.

Too proud to bend Too poor to break, I laugh until my stomach ache, When I think about myself.

You do own to hear me faintly as a whisper out of range, while my drums beat out the message and the rhythms never change.

Yes, my drums are beating nightly, and the rhythms never change.

Come sit on my lap and tell me, what do you want me to say to them, just before I annihilate their ignorance.

Veins collapse, opening like the Small fists of sleeping Children.

Memory of old tombs, Rotting flesh and worms do Not convince me against The challenge.

They dull my eyes, yet I keep on dying, Because I love to live.

I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.
