I Will Rise Poem by Achieng' Ochieng'

I Will Rise



Suffocated with pain, drowning in sorrow
But I refuse to die,
Exhausted from chasing, beaten with harshness
But I refuse to die
Blind folded with bitterness, scratched with anguish
But I refuse to give in!

A day is coming when joy will be my portion,
And I will rise
A day is coming when I shall be soothed,
And I will rise
A day is coming when triumph is all my heart will know
And I will rise

I will rise to sing a new song
I will rise to dance to a new tune
I will rise to surrender to another love
I will rise to see the new Horizon
I will rise to celebrate a new dawn
I will rise to watch my pain disappear in the dark
