7th Grade
I come from hot days
From lots of trees and animals
I’m from the smell of food in the morning
From curly hair and candy
My friends would go to the park with me till dark
I come from going to beaches in Florida every summer
From taking the bus with kids to school
I come from bunk beds
And sharing a room with my sister
I come from PBS Kids and
ramen noodles for dinner
I come from walking to places
even in the middle of winter
I come from taking the train and Lord knows
It was a pain
I come from Paulina
where we dance
at Juke parties to Herbo
Sammy- Fendi- Chief Keef
And listen to Mouf and
Faneto. Where me and my
cousins be, the park,
we have to be home by
dark.
I come from Foster Park
from the uniform and
level O in the hallways
of my school with a panther
as a mascot
From the nasty food
To the no phone in class
and the try hard
and the want to be’s
and doing all the sports you want to.
