I am from so much more than something said in five minutes
I am from the wretched houses to the dirty floors that held my only dreams
I am from the dying, dirty, dumps of Detroit that I called home
“I Am From”
I am from many nights spent on the pitch,
with blood holes and sweat galore, drenched upon its drips.
I am from Hell
I was born there
I live there
I will die there
I am from the fires that rage when people are angry
Laugh there
Love there
Dream there
I AM FROM
I am from loving parents
a stable relationship and household I can rely on
I am from a nervous childhood
