I AM FROM
I am from the city of bright lights & the Big Apple
I am from the Brooklyn Borrow, fast cars and fast shots
I am from place to place
I am from that Haitian good good
Creole, food, borillon, dir avek viyan
I am from education and limitless dreams
…I am from a broken love
Bad decisions… a man and a woman
… I am from his abuse… “Stop! Please! Don’t…”
I am from walking away
I am from the city of supposed Brotherly Love?
I am from blood shed for reasons unknown
Babies crying because of a life they were never shown
I am from Respect, Pride, and Values
The beat of the heart’s core
I am from an old soul
I am from a loud mouth, and quiet thoughts
I am from right and wrong
I am from broken friendships and crazy broads
I am from a broken heart and being a heart breaker
I am from “We Belong Together”
I am from creativity, voice, mind, and body, Actions!
Speak louder than my words
I am from Mohawks, long hair, short hair don’t care
I am from energy, running to see a brighter day
I am from a life that is yet to be lived
And a spirit that shall never die
