Explore "Resolution" by Georgia Douglas Johnson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
With but one life full certified, / And that of every gleam denied / My portion, / Close to the unrelenting sod, / E'en as my fathers dumbly trod, / I've slumbered; / But now a surging, wild unrest / Uproots the poppies from my breast, / My soul awake, erect! anew!
I stand and face the star-swept blue, / And swear to make my dreams come true!
