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.
