Life, to be lived!

Whereas art imitates life for its inspiration, life imitates art for the beauty in its depicting it.

Poems

Still Here

by Langston Hughes

 



I been scared and battered.

My hopes the wind done scattered.

Snow has friz me,

Sun has baked me,

 

Looks like between 'em they done

Tried to make me

 

Stop laughin', stop lovin', stop livin'--

But I don't care!

I'm still here!
