The following quotes are by Maya Angelou. Pick only one and pen no more than 40 lines for, no less than 10.
"Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable."
"You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it."
"Nothing will work unless you do."
"Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness."
-Dig deep and use poetic devices.
