My Own World (After Maya Angelou)

If you all leave me alone And go away to a distant land I shall not fear or blame any one Still I will live fully in my own world If you all throw me down And tear me up hundred times I shall not beg pardon Or break down in tears At the bottom- line of life Beautifully I shall gather there And prepare a picnic for myself If you all want me to see in despair And take away from me all the lights I shall not be disappointed Nor shall I express any indignation Delightfully in the dark room I shall wash off all the negatives And make a lot of photos of life.
