where im from

i am from a apple

from pizza and hot dogs

i am from bricks and brownstones

i am from the lilac bushes

the pretty tall trees

the leaves on the ground

i am from family dinners on Sundays and laughs and great times

from Marshall singleton and Linda Shobey

from Richard Dowe

i am from Christianity beliefs and southern hospitality

from always wanting to be the best and look the best

i am from the Baptist churches

im from brooklyn new york with south carolina roots

from black eye peas and collard greens

from near to death experience

the tramua and heartbreak of almost losing my father in a car accident

to the turn around of him being well and alive til this day

to my growth to strive to be a better person everyday

from never taking life for granted

losing my grandfather back in 2017

i am from summerton sc my deep route
