English Recitation | Life Doesn't Frighten Me | School Competition | Maya Angelou | Poem Poetry

Maya Angelou's poem "Life Doesn't Frighten Me" celebrates courage from a child's perspective. The speaker, a young girl, lists all sorts of things that might scare someone - shadows, barking dogs, even fire-breathing dragons - and declares that none frighten her.
The poem uses repetition for emphasis. The line "Life doesn't frighten me at all," comes at the end of most stanzas, showing the girl's unwavering bravery.
While the speaker isn't afraid of fantastical creatures, it's implied she can handle real-life challenges too, like bullies or strange situations. The poem ends with a mysterious hint: the girl admits to only being afraid in her dreams, suggesting there might be deeper fears to confront someday.
Overall, "Life Doesn't Frighten Me" is an uplifting message about facing challenges and believing in your inner strength.
=========================================
Life doesn't frighten me:
By Maya Angelou
Shadows on the wall
Noises down the hall
Life doesn't frighten me at all
Bad dogs barking loud
Big ghosts in a cloud
Life doesn't frighten me at all
Mean old Mother Goose
Lions on the loose
They don't frighten me at all
Dragons breathing flame
On my counterpane
That doesn't frighten me at all.
I go boo
Make them shoo
I make fun
Way they run
I won't cry
So they fly
I just smile
They go wild
Life doesn't frighten me at all.
Tough guys fight
All alone at night
Life doesn't frighten me at all.
Panthers in the park
Strangers in the dark
No, they don't frighten me at all.
Don't show me frogs and snakes
And listen for my scream,
If I'm afraid at all
It's only in my dreams.
I've got a magic charm
That I keep up my sleeve
I can walk the ocean floor
And never have to breathe.
Life doesn't frighten me at all
Not at all
Not at all.
Life doesn't frighten me at all.
