Where I'm from

I am from that bike in the basement.
I am from the brainiacs and the Braves.
I am from sunshine people in my family, laughing and always smiling.
The smell of flowers.
Hot greens and fried chicken.
I am from being told be a leader and not a follower.
I am from the changes around me.
I am from the buildings of the projects, 16 stories high, cornbread and ribs waiting to be eaten.
I am from the Windy City.
I am from the I love you and the I'm sorry.
I am from the church that praises and prays to the powerful God Almighty.
I am from the music of Michael Jackson.
I am from neat clothes and dirty footwear.
I am from loud mouths and dull bricks.
I am from stripes and stars.
I am from blood and Band-Aids.
From Uno, monopoly and more games every Sunday night.
From going to the laundry mat on Chicago Avenue.
From the house on Congress and Lotis.
I am from taking pictures with my loved ones.
From my favorite book, the skin I'm in.
I am from the smell of my mother's beans.
I am from crying at night.
I am from home where everybody lives.
