Still I Rise By: Maya Angelou

Sweet Innocence – Benjamin Moore

Sweet Innocence – Benjamin Moore

2125-50

Sweet, innocent childhood,

You have evolved so much,

As the earth revolved

You grew with time

A childhood with such innocence

Still a world to discover

Scared, yet curious

To know what’s out there

Sweet, innocent childhood

The sun will rise,

And fill out your dark sky

Sweet, innocent childhood

It will clear the smoke,

Of your deep sorrows

Sweet, innocent childhood,

How has the time past by so fast

From a young child

To an old guilty adult

You are no more my

Sweet, innocent childhood

No more winds blowing through trees,

And birds chirp no more.

Sweet, innocent childhood, 
Your Sweet Innocence,
Has gone away,

Why couldn't possibly stay. 

Darkness rules, 
Light falls,
And U just watch,
Sweet innocent childhood.

Hold on sweet innocent childhood,
Just a bit longer.
I'm coming for you,
Just for a bit longer.

Sweet, innocent childhood, 
Your Sweet Innocence,
Has gone away,

But with demons will no longer stay.

Where I'm From

I am from curry to “empanadas de pollo”,

From Shaan Massala and Baby-G

to Cachantun and Gatorade

I am from the hot sunny weather

to the nice cold breeze

I am from the tulsis to the Aloe Vera,

the green leaves to the sharp small plant

I am from arranged marriage and dark brown hair

to shoe moneys and light brown skin

From Rajesh and Jasmina

I am from bad vision and small feet

I am from the 5 vedas to the Bible

I am from Chile and India,

Empanadas and Choripan to Dall and Dosa

I am from Chile, Chipana 2040 full a memories

and pictures still not ready to be sold.
