Hello BlackPlanet Family,
First let me start by saying that God is good all the time. I am a single parent of a very active 16y/o son. I consider myself to be a very good listener and a compassionate person. I like to treat people the way that I want to be treated. I enjoy the simple things in life. I like to read, cook, music, movies, walks and last but not least spend quality time with my son. I also enjoy meeting new people. A new note to my page: For ladies who perfer dating ladies I am not nor do I have any interest in dating a female... So please do me a favor and stop leaving me note or comments on my page.
"Lady Serenity, quite and sensual, ".
"AKA is a Serious Matter".
Still I Rise
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod 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 backyard.
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
