I feel like a poem
|
Posted By: Justeen Bellinger on May 25, 2006 I am From….. I am from the spiritual ward A child of prayers and tears I am from wise decision tips and turns I am from stained glass windows Unable to see the outside world. I am from religious backgrounds I am from John 3:16 & Luke 2:52 I am from Psalms 23 with arms stretched Out like an oak giving tree. I am from playing outside till the sky turns orange I am from generations of field workers, Potatoe lovers and French speaking blacks. I am from a place of the unknown Lost in a universe where I stand not alone, On a narrow path with cushioned walls, Garden fresh lilies and bright skies are along my side. I am from rugged brown streets disguised in gold I am from a broken family now together and whole I am from raging tempers left and right CONFUSION, FRUSTRATION, MY HEART STILL RACIN! No peace, No sleep and Prayers through the night. I am from a tall white door Waiting to be opened So that I may explore! This is where I’m from!
