Where I am From

By Alkasti Grullon

I am from sunshine,

From cold water and rocks.

I am from the loud truck sounds, loud but very significant.

I am from the top of the mountains, where fruits shine bright.

I am from celebrating New Year with a broken family.

I am from one who is always forgiving but never being forgiven.

I am from believing that people change and deserve second chances.

I am from love.

I am from honesty.

I am from loyalty.

I am from a broken home but caring and supportive parents.

I am from Manathana with a Dominican family.

    Hi Alkasti, I really enjoyed how you structured your poem. Starting off very bright and loud with things like sunshine, cold water, and loud sounds, then the poem gets a bit darker toward the end. I liked the picture you created in the beginning making it feel like waking up on a mountain.

    Hi Alkasti, this poem really motivated me and reading this made me want to go out there and teach people the meaning of life and how to succeed. This poem is a vibe with some loft music and keep it up. I’m glad I came across to your poem.

    hey alkasti, i liked when you said “I am from a broken home but caring and supportive parents.” That was really relatable and has alot of deeper meaning.
