Where I'm From Poem

In room 15 we have written a poem that symbolizes where we are from. It is based around a famous poem by George Elle Lyons called Where I'm From.

Where I’m From

I am from differences

no mind to think alike

from the streets embracing alleyways and passages

and the endless labyrinths

I am from a place that never sleeps

hearing the car horn lullaby every night

from pushing through crowds

the cigarette smoke creating wreaths in the sky

I am from cycling through the city

sometimes in a wake of sad relations

from the satisfying pattern of bicycle wheels

uprooting the gravel in the country

I am from our balcony

and the days I spent looking down

to the road far below

from the chance of snow in winter

my brother the wandering snowman

I am from encouragement and faith

my parents leaving no doubt

my home city with my home people

I am from reality
