Poems by Stephanie B. Sanders

Soar High, Sistah!

Folks will try to tear you down.
And like an eagle you will mount.

Soar High, Sistah!
Folks will try to take your light.
Move to the left, then to the right, and shine bright.

Soar High, Sistah!

Folks will talk bad about you.
Do not sweat it, you know da’ truth.
Soar High, Sistah!

Folks will envy you for doing what you love.
Not your problem, keep rising above.

Soar High, Sistah!

Folks will pretend to be your friend.
Discern spirit make it black & white, so I clearly understand

Soar High, Sistah!

Folks will try to take your joy.
Tell ’em know it’s earned and not a toy.
Soar High, Sistah!

Recite and Remember; You are important. You are smart. You are worthy. You are authentic. You are an original. You are a reason (no excuse). You are special. You are You. You are.. ~ SBS
