Where I'm From

CATEGORY

life

Views: 291
I’m from broken vessels I’m from blood splattered walls that can’t be removed I’m from an unchained heart Filled with nothing but hope I’m from lawlessness That only GOD can remove I’m from gang fights, gunshots, and remorse Although anything can be restored I’m from a place where hearing “I love you” is rare but “I’ll die about mine” Is the calmest thing you’ll hear I’m from a place where the warmest heart can be turned cold Where the money, sex, and drugs are the only golden tickets to salvation I am from the roots of bitterness formed by a black woman I’m from the unspoken words of a neglected soul That can’t be retold I’m from the burden of a mangled spirit I’m from a Jermaine that is not here to tell his truths But a Veronica that will console me with all her love I’m from a journey that I didn’t want to take All this agony made me the WOMAN I am today.

Great write JEvans! I enjoyed reading this. Knowing whom we are and from whence we came are two of our most powerful weapons. Thank you for sharing this.
