RANDOM poems

Followed By A Poem Format : Wrote In Grade 9

I'm from late nights with  my music blasting.

From RCA and Microsoft.

I am from those lonely,  abandoned streets- empty,  sometimes fun, and feels like home.

I am from waterlillies,  the black berry tree.

Tall, bearing tasty treats.

I am from the gifted,  the ghetto,  and the underestimated.

The father,  the mother,  and the petty siblings.  From the unfinishers,  and addicts.

I'm from "If it Don't make dollars,  it Don't make sense."  and "Too much  is Never enough".

I'm from the Baptist Church on Dequindre & Outer Drive E.

I'm from "The lord is my life,  and my salvation. Tell me who shall I fear?"

I'm from the cornfields in Alabama,  and the post apocalyptic roads of a once great city.

I'm from the Cornbread and Collard Greens on a Thanksgiving evening.

I'm from the uncle who was imprisoned at 15, but didn't finally get out until I was 9 years old.

I am from the overbearing dropout who encourages me to do best everyday and to "Gind and Shine."

The over-sized drawers in the top of her closet.

I am from...

Endurance,  and trying every single day until I'm finally successful.
