I AM FROM
I am from pink
from smelling like fruity
hairspray to enjoying a day
with my barbies.
I am now dressed in black
and not smelling like hairspray
but smelling like lotion that smells like
bubble gum.I think to myself have I changed.
I am from being told by
my mom “get your hair out of you
face” and my dad agrees.
I am from rock music
that my parents cant understand
as my parents yell “turn that down”.
I am from out standing
colors of beads that are so big
it covers my wrist to died hair that
is dark purple to black finger nails and
eye liner that is really thick around ,y eyes and dark .
I am from a mother who was
a foster child, who try's her hardest
to get her kids better things then what she
had as a child even with the little money we have now.
I am from a father who tells me
his crazy stories and tells his kids he
wants his kids to do better then him in every way.
I am from a family that moves a lot
because we don't have enough money to
stay In one spot I get so frustrated because
I hate moving all the time.
I am from where family comes
first and it always will no matter what.
I am from being shy and quiet
to being called weird by other people
that don't even know, me they just judge
before they even get to know the real me.
I am from being bullied
in elementary school by kids
because of my weight and how I looked.
I am from being the only
one In my family of five to graduate and
I am proud of it as my dad tells me “I want
you to finish school and graduate and do good”
Which makes me happy because I know that my family
believes in me and will push me to succeed at all my goals.
I am that girl that will try her
hardest to finish something and never
give up on anything that any one can rely
because they know I will never give up.
I am just me and no one can
ever change that
