I am from a neighborhood that’s not a first pick;
I am from a place most people don’t like going
I am from a family that doesn’t get along
I am from a caring family

my family’s not the richest
my family has to watch what they spend
my family works for the food and objects we have
my family is my family

my siblings punch and kick
my siblings yell and scream
my siblings also understand and accept how I am feeling
my siblings are my siblings

my peers sometimes think I'm mean
my peers accept me for me
my peers and I become close
my peers become friends

my friends are  by my side.
my friends laugh at my stupid jokes
my friends are there if I need anything
my friends are my family
    
I am from a family that’s caring
my family is my family
my siblings are my siblings
my peers become my friends 
my friends are my friends
