where i’m from

I am from waterfalls,

from sugarcane plantations  and rice fields

I am from the lost City of Gold and Rum, I am from the Victoria Amazonica lily

I am from storytelling, appreciation and affection

From amanda

And tariq.

I am from church on sundays and saturday family movie nights 

From who don’t hear, does feel and after laugh is cry,

I am from the Quran and the bible, from praying 3 times a day with my grandma and Sunday school with my sister.

I’m from georgetown and indian descendant,Cook-Up Rice

And Pepperpot, From the cancer my uncle has beaten and standing taller and stronger than ever, 

The surgery’s he’s had just to spend more time with his family 

and the Hemorrhagic stroke my grandpa has recovered from .

I am from those moments where my grandma would rock me to sleep in her hammock and tell me stories about her life and my father’s childhood.
