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.

Quotes

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.

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.

Excuse me, can I grab your eyes and thoughts? As you gaze upon these poetic prayers of this silent village boy. Understand that his outside is sideways and flipped upside down all in one. Scream loudly if you can, but I guarantee the village boy has screamed louder as a sheep. Boys are made men in a village and sent out to provide, well behold with your eyes the struggle he felt knowing all he could do was wait to provide. So prepare your minds, sharpen your thoughts and come along on his strife to his strive. Based off true stories.

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope. -Maya Angelou
