Who am I?
I am from everyone knowing everyone
from newports to loosy
I am from the 2 bus and the 4 train
Where 12 years old look like 18 years old
I am from raining days and sunny days
from Fall, Winter, Spring to Summer
I am from violence to get together
from shopping to stealing
from restaurants to “we buy gold”
I am from a family
where I play a role as a sister,
daughter, and aunt.
I am from the big apple,
from a lady that greets the terrorist
I am from big lights and lots of stores,
I am from long walks
to perverted guys.
I am from nice style to people asking for change.
I am from a home that smells like food
from sundays morning coffee smell
to late night chicken smell
I am from a 2 bed apartment
where I share a room ,
I am from a generation where fame is important
from likes and exposing boost up your popularity
I am from girls getting attention by taking half naked pictures
from girls being called “THOT”
to being judge because of your interest,
I am from racial profiling,
from getting stop and risk ,
I am from a place where trusting too much can kill you
from trusting no one
I am from getting money which is the number one goal
