Where I'm From


(I am from slavery. I am from blood, sweat, and tears. I am from fear of acceptance. In the darkness I won’t appear. I am from survival. I am from struggle. I am from pride. I have the strength to survive. I am from change. I am from faith and hope. I am from prayer. God won’t put more on me than I can bare. I am from success. I am from determination. I am from the future. I will reach the highest peek. )
