The Origin Of 'Q' Poem by Quantez L. Spears

Basketball in street and music blasting is where I’m from.

Jumping around, making jokes, annoying people chomping on gum.



I am from laughter, listening, pleasure, and pain.

From hooping in the sun to dancing in the rain.



From that relative that comes and visits the family for a while.

Being that persevering friend that won’t stop until you smile.



I am from junk for dinner, not food.

The laid-back guy with the nonchalant attitude.



I am from being in water, swimming smart as a dolphin.

To holding back tears seeing someone in a coffin.



From the book of secrets which my heart will always hold.

A ticking time bomb of anger waiting to explode.



A book of dark secrets that blend in with the night,

But whats done in the dark eventually comes to the light.


From a guy who sees an attractive girl and forgets what to say.

to curious and lost soul trying to find a new way.


From a guy who wants to see the moon before the sun

to a guy who knew the movie before it begun.


From a child of God, working not for money.

A bee that pollinates the flower, not just takes her honey.


From a strong young man, not afraid to get rejected.

A guy full of surprises, so expect the unexpected.


From a scholar, music lover, athlete, and now poet,

to person who accepts vulnerability, and through poetry will show it.
