where im from


Do you want to know where im from? where im from i see people with the courage to do something but they dont know nor try to know. Where im from i see kids with scars on their bodies from being abused. abused by society , abused by their families, abused because of their skin color or how they walk, talk, dress, or even where they live. where im from i see trees getting cut down, plants dying, people not caring about where they live and how they are hurting themselves. Where im from i see the sky and how bright the sun shine. See where im from i see teens with marijhana and alcohol bottles in their hands. Most kids get drugs in their system and then have guns pointed at them. where im froom if police shoot a people they shoot back. Where im from bullets dont have names written on them. I see a world that is going to end anyday now. But i dont know when so i sit back and let the almighty do his thing. ( GOD OF COURSE) Where im from people are on the corners everyday not knowing that they have an opportunity to get an education. WHERE AM I FROM? IM FROM EAST, WEST, SOUTH, NORTH ; IM HERE, IM THERE, IM EVERYWHERE. Where im from dreams can come true if you let them and let people help you. I see kids trying to grow, i see the earth trying to live. Stay ture to your self and stay peacful ; maybe one day we'll find the place where our dreams and reality colide.
