Where I am from

Where I am From…..
I am from raggedy buildings within Hitler’s raft
I am from a place where the ketchup is sweeter than candy
I am from white and paneled walls in which I’m trapped physically
and emotionally
I am from a freelanced world in which no one cares what you really do
or say
I am from a world where a man’s love doesn’t matter, but a woman’s
generosity is taken for granted
I am from a household of 1 and the other parent is living a separate life
I am from a quiet neighborhood with violence all around it
I am from chaos, but has serenity within it
I am from a place where babies are having babies
I am from a place in which where you are from is how you were brought up to be
I am from tantrums medication in which I need to live
I am from oxygen of my daddy’s lungs for which I could’ve been lifeless
I am from my journey in which I lived for 17 years now if it wasn’t for
the journey in which I faced I wouldn’t be here right now
