#MayaAngelou
“The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.”
- #MayaAngelou (born: 4 April 1928)

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.
- Maya Angelou, Still I rise
born on this day, 1928

Not all ghosts rattle chains.
Some sit quietly in your chest…waiting to be written.
Tell the story. Even if it trembles. Especially if it trembles.
