I Am From Poem

I Am From

Jeremy Randle

I am from a dark lit corner,

Just on the line between Sylmar, Lake View Terrace, and Pacoima I reside.

I am from the place where the cars never stop,

I love it here, I’ve got hometown pride.

I am from the place of low self esteem,

You cant even get a smile.

I am from the place where gangs feud daily,

But through it all I am blessed to have escaped that thug style.

I am from the place of trouble everyday,

But my social life lives in the West.

I am from the beaches of Santa Monica,

But I go to the school that is best.

I am from the school where diversity is accepted,

But originality is embraced.

I am from a mix of music and a buffet of sound,

Fights I’ve overcome, plenty I’ve faced.

I am from the place where girls either rock or can kick your ass,

My life is so mixed up.

I am from love once known

But I screwed it up.

I am from Rock, R&B, and Rap,

Korn, Aaliah, and Snoop Dogg are all the same to me.

I am from music united as one to bring joy

Music is the definition of me.

I am my i-pod, it is my life story

I am music, the one that gets me!
