unique - Arise

Untitled 774Benjamin Cooper8” x 6”The voices are cruelAnd try to be my demiseThey drag me downBut still, I rise.But Still I Rise - In Spiteof the VoicesCasey A. O’ConnorThey make me scaredTears fill my eyesThey push me downBut still, I rise.Sometimes I don’t want to liveAnd think of Good-ByesThey pull me downBut still, I rise.They beat me up,Fill my head with lies,They knock me downBut still, I rise.I wouldn’t be hereWithout strong family tiesThey put me downBut still, I rise – in spite of the voices.19
