Still I Write

I will continue writing
until the lines run out;
then I will grab another journal:
more lines
more words

This is not a goodbye;
(so cliche, I know)
just a see you soon

Still I write
And still I write
Bowed head and lowered eyes
weakened by my soulful cries

But still, I write.

This is a short poem I wrote after spending some time reading Maya Angelou's poetry. Still I Rise is one of my favorite poems, and without blatantly plagiarizing her amazing work or diminishing her original intentions with the poem, I wanted to use it to inspire my own journey as a writer.
