I am from a soft cozy cheetah print queen size bed

 

From using caress soap and using Colgate whitening toothpaste~

 

I am from a family that says you better eat all your food, before you leave that table

 

 

 

I am from the plant my parents take care of like a baby and the peach and greenish leafs whose long gone limbs I remember, as like if they were my own

 

I am from a mouth that eats together and fight together, and from a mother and father

 

 

 

I am from a place where you not gone disrespect your elders and do everything wrong and from eating dinner every night together

 

I am from better eat your food now and wash your dishes back out and do your homework etc...

 

 

 

I am from a family that prayers together and stays together

 

I am from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and my wonderful grandmother pearl franklin who’s now gone

 

 

 

I am from a family that loves to eat crispy, brownish, crunchy, chicken, yellowish,  and cheesy, oozing with love macaroni and cheese

 

 

 

I am from a family of a 25 year old brother who was shot in his lower left side of back area and was in the hospital for over 3 months, He was darkened with a lot of tattoo all over his body, he is still alive but was shot on 35th and Brown
