Standing Tall

Spoken-word slam poetry. Rap it! :)

You don't understand

that I have no choice

Gotta expand

Be grand

On my own two feet stand

My future's all planned

Though some will resist

me, I shall persist, see?

Don't care of you disagree

I'm being me

I'm not this way

accidentally

Please help me!

I'm having trouble remembering

Why it was so urgent we were

dismembering

the nobody

 

 

Oh yeah! It's cause she

had the nerve

to spit the words

that everybody's been thinking

And now their cheeks are pinking

Cause they know my rhymes are true

As real as me or you

 

 

She stood up and stopped that

train from comin down the track

Smacked the m**********r cross the face and back

And now she stands tall

Wind blowing in her face

But she don’t fall

Those who doubted crawl

Away, slinkin’ back

All ashamed

that they didn’t believe

The impossible can be seen

And done

They made fun

But now…

 

 …they’re outdone.

I loved this write. It says so much.

She stood up and stopped that
choo-choo train from comin down the track
Smacked the m**********r cross the face and back

Enjoyed everything about this poem. There was so much imagery in it, that I truly read it another time just to see everything again and get a better read of it. You are very good with your words.

Awesome job. I really enjoyed this.


"She stood up and stopped that
choo-choo train from comin down the track
Smacked the m**********r cross the face and back".

I agree with Silent Scream that was my favorite line too.

I really like this piece! Its raw and explode with an infusion of energy and emotion. I like the sense of empowerment it gives the female character! congrats on a great piece!
