Where I’m from pt.2..

I’m from #2

I’m from play fight with parents 

I am 13 cousins on momma side and 4 on dad 

I’m from home cooked meals and hot kitchens 

I am long hot summer days to chasing the ice cream truck 

I’m from water ballon fights and water bottle fights 

I am hanging with the boys 

Im from doing dangerous stunts on bikes 

I am broken basketball hoops with battle scars 

I’m from family cook outs 

I’m from 1 fight we all fight 

I am loose dogs and broken gates 

I’m from broken bones and scraped knees

I am from laugh at my pain and cry when nobody looking 

I’m from big sleep overs at grandmas house 

I’m from the ghetto angel t-shirts at funerals 

I am from the hood.

I am from “ hands up don't shoot” 

to getting shot at.

From long days with no water.

to broken homes.

I am from struggling moms and poverty,

From finding love in the wrong places.

I am from rape to hurt feelings.

From child support and light bills.

I am from being in the closet of shame 

to contemplating suicide.

From depression to wrist cutting.

I am from from sitting in a corner crying 

with nobody to pick me up.

From weed and...
