Past
I came from a quiet place for
the first five years of my life.
I was the only
child.
I came from wishing on stars,
watching Disney movies; playing dress-up;
warm home-cooked meals;
from being told, but not listening.
I came from
pink and purple are my go-to colors.
I was the only
child.
I came from lessons learned;
from wisdom, joy, and love, experiences.
I came from acknowledging that I might not go to church every Sunday,
but knowing that going to church isn’t what makes the relationship with God-
It’s God choosing you and you choosing HIM back that makes the relationship; I came from worship at home with Mom and Dad.
For
I was the only child.
I came from a mother and father watching their little girl
dream and pray for another playmate.
For
I was the only child.
Asking Mommy, Daddy may
I have a little brother or sister?
Dreaming,
Praying
for that to come true one day,
one day soon.

Then five years my dreams and prayers came true.
experiences.
I came from a family filled with rejoicement,
excitement, more love, and more
For my little brother was born,
and named James and brought home.
I came once a quiet place to a noisy place.
For now,
I'm not the only child anymore.
I came from son pick this room up,
tell your sister to help.
I also came from both of you come here,
give me a hug.
I came from not being lonely anymore,
having someone younger to play with.
Soon I came from going to a place with no understanding.
A new school,
a new environment.
Away
from my parents.
Still close
yet father than I used to be.
A place that made you think,
made you learn.
Makes you understand Mom and Dad care
more than the people outside the family.
I went to a place that made me miss
mom
dad
brother
home-cooked meals
mon-fri 8-3.
A place where you're stuck with
burnt pizza and overdone food.
Also stuck with mean teachers who act fake to everyone,
don't care
as much as your
parents.
I went to a place where I knew who I was,
but people tried to change that.
They tried to make me less than myself by bullying me,
not caring and torturing with hatred and hate-filled comments.
They offered fake compliments,
which somehow made me feel less than them.
I've wanted to have a true friend, but
never knowing that the friends I had weren't what I was looking for.
I once thought that I had found a true friend,
but I didn't know how blind I was to her deceitfulness.
I am from a family
of wisdom.
I came from again praying
for another playmate.
However, now asking mommy,
Daddy can I have a little sister?
The mother and father still watched their
daughter wishes for something else.

Five years later I then came from a place
filled with more noise, rejoicement, and excitement.
For my little sister was born,
named Kalena, and brought home.
I quickly came from a room filled with toys on the floor and constantly heard "Baby girl clean this room up and tell your big brother and sister to help you,"
Again I went to another place,
more understanding than before.
I went to a new school,
a new environment.
This time still hoping to make a
true best friend or even just a friend.
Still learning,
making my parents proud.
Getting A's on a
a lot of assignments.
However, it wasn't impressing the
people around me or even myself.
Yet I was impressing GOD,
that's what I needed to focus on.
I was making impressions on teachers
by working hard and acting civilized.
I am from a place where
imagination runs wild.
I come from where people can
express how they feel.
I'm most definitely not from a rich family, but
I'm definitely from a blessed family.
I am from love
no hate.
However, I see the opposite from
outside my windows every day.
I came from a place that's heard gunshots and violence, but
never being there in person.
I came from a place that helped me
when I was bullied.
They helped me understand that people
don't hate me but the GOD in me.
Which now I understand
what that meant.
I came from
a place with understanding where there was none.
I come from
a family of no separation though there are walls in my house.
I came from a place where it's loud
all day but quiet all night.
I come to a place where I might cry due to being
spirally touched by the presence of God
and I don't get
judged for it.
In fact, I may even need to comfort
family members for the same reason.
I haven't been the only child for more
then eleven years now.
Wow God has blessed me
in so many ways.
I am from a place where d
reams are heard.
I am from home,
heaven.
Yes!! I am from
mistakes made.
I am from a place
where people can fit in.
I am from a place where secrets are never held.
The truth is always told.
If not we repent
if a lie is told.
I am from a GOD
formed family.
I am from a well-known,
unknown family.
I am from a family of new,
old family members.
I am from a family that will try to make
you happy when you are sad.
Yet not willing to cross that line
that makes me into a brat.
I came from
a GOD
blessed family.
______
Present
I once again went
to a place.
This time with a lot of
God-given understanding.
Where I can work on what
I have already known and learned.
I come from a place where I've
never thought I would ever enter.
In a state of mind, I've never
thought I would ever be able to achieve.
I don't care as much about what
others say I need to change
so I can be who they want me
to be.
I came from a mother and father,
with a brother and a sister.
I came from God.
I have made many mistakes
in my short lifespan,
When I step back and take a
look at how wonderful life truly is.
I didn't understand God will always love me,
will take me with all my flaws because he'll take them away from me forever.
I come from
laughter.
I come from
a love for writing.
I come from
getting closer and closer to graduating.
I come from more than 795 pages,
151 short stories and four different journals.
I come from
a grieving family.
I am from
having a true best friend now.
I am from
a high GPA.
I am from
a cheer squad.
I am from
New Beginnings of all types.
Iron from
not being afraid to stand up for what I believe in my friends.
I come from
Growing Pains.
I am from
asking God to constantly help me.
I come from
wanting to do great things and be able to do great things.
I come from
embracing my race in my gender, and who I am even more.
I came from
quickly realizing that people will never stop trying to break me down and change me.
They don't phase
me anymore.
I come from
a family dinner that may struggle at times.
I come from
situations of confusion, but I come to understand what has happened.
I come from
a family that's all you need to know.
