I Am From


I Am From 
I am from Port Author , TX
I am from discrimination 
I am from lack of interest 
I am from lowered education 
I am from only good for one reason 
I am from poor Pronunciation
I am from poor living areas
I am from lowered expectations 
But what you don't know is..
I am from the honor roll
I am from good communication 
I am from nice neighborhoods
I am from many recommendations 
I am not the color of my skin 
I am not your expectations
I am a black woman 
With no limitations
-Keyonna Anderson
