Mayaangelou Stories

Have ever got stuck on a plot, a word, a scene or a story so much that you can't move forward? We as writers, believe everyone has been through that "phase". To counteract that stage and to boost our writing community(and the writer in us), we all need a boost, a push to keep at it. Keeping in mind, every Sunday, NewlyWrittenBooks are going to publish a writer's empowerment quote from writers across the world, to spark the writing bug within you. Cover made by the amazingly gifted @druidoflore :)

This is some of poetry, it is also all on tumblr. Enjoy!

A girls journey through relationships , mental health, and self discovery, 17-20

I've decided to scribble what I once felt for a person who was a friend to me. It was great feeling but is wasn't a right time for me to have that feeling.

I have no clue why the cage bird sings. I will sing, jump, and dance once I am free. I will remember all I learned here in the cage. I honor the cage that kept me grounded. See my reflection, like a mirror this. Cage shines back at me. Why did that damn bird sing? There is no freedom where one cannot fly, One cannot fly when you're locked from the sky I know it's meaning in that damn cage.

This Book Is Written Based Off Of My Step Cousins Life .

Poetry inspired by a legend.

Your Favorite Poem

This is a poem I wrote as a tribute to Maya Angelou.

(ironically and delusional) it's about a beast(she) caged in a cage. tied to the walls, tortured by its own demons to pay all the inequties it has ever committed. To much pressure, to much fire, they let it burn watching. While breaking up in their sight,they feel it's all okay. __-There are some lines in each stanza that have the voice/voices of the persecuters(e.g second stanza third line "she is lying")
