  1. great find em!
    my favorite verse was this...

    "You may shoot me with your words,
    You may cut me with your eyes,
    You may kill me with your hatefulness,
    But still, like air, I'll rise."

    letting us know that through all the hardships you can get through it and rise..

  2. That's really neat that you found that emily, it goes perfectly with what we are discussing right now. I really like that poem especially when it says "But still, like air, I'll rise." it really shows the strength within it
