"It's not where you're from, not where you're at....it's where you're going"

Where I'm from

I am from a fatherless block of desolate homes scattered on concrete.
I am from hand me downs and sugar coated truths.
I am from a family stitched together with fervor.
I am from a mindset of dreams.
I am from Pistol Pete, Pete & Pete, peanut butter & jelly, and Pulp Fiction.
I am from a place of expectations not always met but never frowned upon.
I am from a house with closed eyes and open ears.
I am from a neighborhood once littered with children but now void of laughter.
I am from where I am.......
