I just got back from class with news that I've won first place in poetry for my school's literary magazine! I'm invited to read it to those attending humanities day. Woot! So cool.
Now I gotta rush out and get my car checked on before my next class! I'm so busy rofl.
Deeper
I am from a childhood caught on tape
bathing, giggling, teething.
I am from a Stater Brother's backyard
combing a dolls hair on the kitchen floor.
I am from the yellow brick road
and Pee-Wee's word-of-the-day.
I am from sitting at the kitchen counter
after three hours and cold pea soup.
I am from singing and laughing,
from tickling and smiling.
I am from one to another.
I am from church;
God's palm in one hand, junior bible in the other.
I am from Christmas Eve afternoon: step-dad's family.
I am from Christmas Eve night: Mom's family.
I am from Christmas morning: our house.
I am from Christmas afternoon: Daddy's house.
It's enough to break a child.
I am from watching children's hands
bloom red under and angry ruler.
It's enough to break a child.
I am from stories of overturned cars,
just one I cared for.
I am from stories told different ways
blaming different people.
It's enough to break a child.
I am from the loss of the only one I had.
It's enough to break anyone.
I am from salty pillowcases and troubled nights.
I am from wrong being right being wrong
Which always was.
I am from secrets, shhh, secrets.
It's enought to break a child.
I am from "I love you"
I am from "I love you" and I don't believe it anymore.
It's enough to break a child.
I am from anger around me where
I place myself.
I am from nightmare's of enjoyed rape
and awaken with the urge to empty my stomach in the toilet.
It's enough to break a child.
I am from somewhere you can't go
because I built it and stay there, in here.
It's enough to break a child.
I am from a mother who thinks she understands
because she found the secret.
I hate it.
It's enough to break a child.
They scream, they yell, they cuss, I cry
to myself. "Don't you dare let them see."
It's enough to break a child.
I am from breaking so many times,
yet the pieces will not fall. They sit,
hang, pull, but will not fall.
It's enough to break a child.
Broken would be better than this place I've trapped myself.
Just a child.

cool there was this one guy that used to come to my shcool at one point of time and help us learn how to write and read ect. and he had us write a poem like that too the "I am" poem and i thought that it was a fun exercise plus a good ground base for a poem.
