I am from the irresponsible decisions of youth
I am from nothing, from a broken home
I am from achieving what’s out of my reach
I am from overcoming my odds
I am from food stamp lines and welfare checks
From powdered milk and flavorless cookies
I am from troubles and darkness
I am from far away, emotionally
From no heat in the winter time
From no air in the summer time
I am from fried chicken and greens
From family reunions and separation. Choosing a side
In the fog of life
I am from change; life is too short to be
Afraid
I am from bold stands and brave battles
I am from harsh times and amazing victories
I am from camping trips with friends
I am from an emotionless family
From misunderstandings
In the tides of trouble, a child is afraid to change his ways
I am from improvement
From motivation and inner strength
I am from healing church services on Sunday
From devotionals on Friday
I am from demolition, and reconstruction
I am from dust, turned to gold
From the sun, dripping with light
I am from being saved, from recovery
From the winds of a new spirit
I am a Beast
