Where I Am From
Where I Am From by Kimberly Guice
I am from a place where love is always in the air
From a place where laughter is always near
From conflict to disputes and raging violence
From a place where even in the midst of it all there is
always a loving someone there
I am from a place where fried food is put on a pedestal
From a place where chores are not an option
From mama always saying ´What you Say´
From being comfortable to sometimes wanting to go away
I am from a place where the exterior and interior do
not have the same face
From pungent air so thick with smoke
From sagging pants and convicts that are broke
From a place where people believe there is no hope
I am from a place that does not embody me
From a place that does not believe in what it can be
From a place that I do not wish to be
From a place that will never define me
