I am from... more or less.
I am from streets.
New York streets, Philly streets and not the streets that have cleaners and doormen or polished gold gates.
I am from policed streets and not because they feel safer to patrol such a godly good ghost town but because for once they have stepped up to the call of beaten wives and frightened children hiding in their basements with their little cousins crying more because he has to see her beaten down and cornered into her own insecurity that now she lies their humbling like it were a role mean't to be played specifically by her.
I am from rags to riches only hypothetically speaking however, from a place my heart has created to survive from the punctures that it once endured alone for years it must conquer the mentality and reality in my mind only to pretend I'll beat the odds, pretending might just be enough to make it maybe and I won't be that girl with a baby I'm going to college I'll be the first and my mother would never let me forget it.
I am from a place where murders would be less punishable than ignorance or unintelligence, where to be belittled by a man who acts like a boy would hypocritically make you damned.I have unfortunately not been able to see a women escape that damnation personally but I've heard its like being reborn from a phoenix heart as on fire and alive.
I am from abnormal is normality and to be anything else foreign.
I am from is not where I will be or where I'm going, that is the farthest place in my future forgetting who I am is not worth fame because fulfillment is only the feeling of achievement and that is where I am from.
