Where I’m From

Where I’m from going to my grandparent’s

house is where the memories begin.

I come from where family is so important

so sad others can’t afford it.

I come from my mom and dad “you’ll feel worse pain”

and “work hard to get it”

Where I’m from a family treat is greens

I come from where the deck of cards keeps us from the screens

I come from the dinner table, everything happens

here.

Where I’m from witnessing is better vs ear to ear

I come from think before you act, it’ll cut you

from slack.

Where I’m from don’t engage just behave.

I come from mind your business and just stay away.
