Take The Rise Poems - Poems about Take The Rise

A Poem I Should Have Written But Didn't
I walked a quiet road at dusk, Where frost lay silver on the grass, And in the stillness, words I sought Some startled birds would rise and pass. They brushed my cheek, they touched my hair, Then vanished into fading blue; I thought of you, old friend of snow, Who spoke to silence, stern and true. Your lines were fences in the mist, Your...

This Is Where I Rise
Let it be known— this is where I rose. Not from victory, but from void. Not from praise, but from prayerless nights with no answer. I rose not like sunlight, but like stone breaking through its tomb. Not like wind— but like silence that chose to speak. This is where I shed the skin of survival. Where I buried the man who begged for belonging. Where I kissed the...

Still, We Rise
You smell like sweet roses, But I've smelled the sweat of the weak. My sight is as keen as an eagle's eyes; I see the chains, rusted from years of injustice, binding the meek. Segregation tried to tear us apart; Tried to break our spirits, but we stood unbroken. Like Carlotta Walls, I keep my head held high, ...

From the depths of forgotten sleep, the shadows of unknown dreams rise, On the paths of the night, our steps are guided by nameless stars, In the cosmic silence, the whispers of destiny that traverse us are heard, Every hidden thought becomes a window to the inner light. Through forests of memories, the heart seeks its way to clear...

Inspired to write. Right? Rise up Queen ?? Take in the Scene you have everything you need to succeed no more heartbreaking, blood flowing, anxiety filled recollections of the past.

Born to Rise
"Blackbird" You cannot cage what's born to rise, she blazed beyond their brittle lies. They named her ash, they named her end, but fire learns how not to bend. Her silence cracked the sky in two, she flew where only lightning flew, They heard her cry, not weak–but wise– a battle hymn of "Blackbird" skies....

Still, I Rise in Color
for the ones losing hair, light, and hope—this is you. They said I was nothing special. Just a crawling thing, skin too thin, eyes too tired, body too slow to ever matter. I heard them whisper. “He looks worse every day.” “She’s losing her hair now.” “Poor thing.” And worse— the pity in their voices cut more than the words. I wanted to hide. Wanted to leave this skin, this...

Pain refines, but grace restores. This is the whisper of strength. There are days when the world feels heavy, when the echoes of yesterday press against the walls of today.
