I am From
Location
I am from Washington Township,
From Sharon Moore and Troy Frazier,
From collard greens and pumpkin pie,
I am from football parties and family gatherings,
From singing Beyonce in the family room,
From Junie B Jones and Dr. Seuss,
I am from boom-boom and Jayda B,
From Varsity cheer to the Pro Bowl,
From fat, dirty, ugly to proud, bold and beautiful,
I am from cooks and cleaners
From hardworkers and back breakers,
From Uncle Doo Doo being a Cancer survivor
I am from corner stores and townhomes,
From 4/8/12 and 5/24/12 and 9/23
From missing my loved ones who were the most proud of me
I am from home to home and heart to heart
From tears and pain
From Love and love lost
I am from a big brown trunk that holds my hopes and dreams,
From fancy pink boxes filled with written secrets.
