I am from...


I am from…

 

I am from the reflection of the sun that glistens through my window

I am from the oldies that will roll on with me forever as goodies

I am shiny and old, and I sip the sweet bliss of my childhood at night

I am from the blackest meat that keeps me strong and healthy

I am from a melting pot of infinite flavor

I am the coconut that adds texture to the bland

I am from love and will always be your little Scooby

I am a BROWN, maintaining the utmost resilience and humble pride.

I will not stop!

I am from the Dorothy and Mickey Browns

I am the cool-cat who does not arrive without a good time

The light of day enhances my complexion that blinds those who cannot truly see

I am from these moments, an overflowing blend of the fruits from my past’s present.
