I am

(poems go here) I am from the un-giving promises Spoken from the lies of truth From the depths of joy Found through a smile From the illiteracy of intelligence not yet used I am from a mother not yet a mom Struggling to grow up I am from a person hidden The twin side of the penny From the flow of a pen to paper Expressing what my words can not say My words can express Through the reflection of What you see and not what you know I am from a different shade of brown not yet black The art of blood on the streets Lost innocence no worlds to speak From the shot of a gun to the home of a bullet From a lost child, no act in it I am from trials with no judge, no rules, no life From the story of fairy tales, and the good life believed Only to be reality of uncertain dreams Make believe, taken from me, like the childhood never seen I am from the quiet words, that will only get louder Louder,prouder, time is up, fly up I am just a memory soon to fade
