where im from
Where i'm from
I am from the windy city with tall
buildings and frigid temperatures
I am from divorce and moving to a
warmer and smaller place with less horses in my life
I am from saint Matthews elementary
My ideal elementary but then Rutherford
Elementary my fiery hell on earth
I am from teasing then name calling then
being pushed around then being hurt
Then giving losing hope
I am from telling the teacher,
Telling the counselor, Telling the principal
But just being told it is My fault
I am from skipping school to escape
The pain or saying i tripped to explain
The crimson river going down my face
Because telling the truth just brings more pain
I am from escaping my hell like prison
With a chip on my shoulder
I am from trying to be the center of attention
To be seen as more than a punching bag
I am from trying to push my weight around and
Seeing myself become like the people I hate
I am from remorse and apologies but knowing it is not enough
I am from losing myself
I no longer know where i'm from
