ive never read a poem that touches me like this one.
Its so true because there are so many people out there wo love to hate on
other peoples achievements,and i read it at the right time because still i
rise.
Maya Angelou is a wonderful poet and the fact she can touch a 17 year old
like me shows her poems have no age limit.
i rise, i rise, i rise.

I always thought that was Ben Harper's work because he made such a
beautiful song out of Maya's poem. It's grand that I am able to give credit
where credit is due from now on. Kudos to Ben for putting music and voice
to Maya's poems and more so to Maya for her empowering poem.

I love this poem because when all is not going well and you feeling like
you are worthless or experiencing jelous, resentment from others its a
great feeling to resort to maya STILL I RISE. When you are being told you
are not worthy or feel isolated in your job feeling left out, its a great
feeling knowing you can turn to Maya angelou's STILL I RISE
I RISE
I RISE
I RISE

A raw poem of a woman expressing pride in her self, recognising her worth
to be more valuable than gold.
It's an inspiration to one to rise above despair...shake off a defeatist
attitude and make yourself become 'Somebody' special!

Thanks, so much Maya, this poem "Still I Rise" has a meaning that can show
an individual the way to go. As I was reading this poem, I thought to
myself, that you are really talented and know how to make a person feel
blesses.

still i rise is such a beautiful poem and made me look at poetry in a new
light (not something to only be understood by those special few, but by
everyone)

I have always read Maya, but this past Sunday (26/6/2005) I heard the poem
"Still I Rise" recited by Adelaide Tambo, one of Africa's great women. She
was reading the poem at the 50th celebration of the adoption of the Freedom
Charter http://www.anc.org.za/ancdocs/history/charter.htm
Sitting there hearing Mama Adelaide giving thanks to Maya and than reading
this poem, i was mesmerized with emotion. Thank you Maya for this poem!
