Still Here

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!

This is a composite of an old shed I just photographed, several really old snow scenes from Colorado, and some weathered farm equipment provided by jus tt for fun.
