Where I’m from poem

I’m from A world of fear                                  

a part of

Reality but,

The bright future

Dominates the

Darkness of the world

I was in a place where

No child should have

To go through, sounds

Of the sirens rushing,

Sounds of buck shots fired,

Broken bottle glass and darkness

Of life and death but at least

There is always sunshine

The diverse ethnicity through

A young kid’s brown eyes as he

Walks around in different

Places with a bright smile to 

Other faces “hello there”

I was born with a label that

Defines my race that

Will be with me until I

I fade away

I bring a smile to a

Person’s face and a hand

Of respect but others deny

For what I give to them

Reality is where dreams are

Crushed but dreams are

Where ideas and imagination are

Created for success but fades

Away when you wake up

Back to reality.

I hear the great rhythm of

Growing pains 3

a person who helped me

paint the picture of my life

growing up what is was like

and stepping through

the mind of logic  

A father that had the

Same name as his son

Wonder will I ever find him

And a question unsolved

Why he left a boy to protect

His young mother from a heartbreak  

The 15 years of memoires

Are like 15 episodes

Of a teenager’s life where

Everything has happened and

Will continue on until its ends and after a bad day there’s always Brighter day after
