Where I'm From

I am from the clay use to make the African Pots
From Fanta and Kente cloths
I am from the colorful beads around a female’s waist that make her feel like an African Princess

I am from a metal baton
From a spike wrench and Spandex Leggings
I'm from the blazing colors and many shapes of fruit in a fruit salad

I am from the plastic rubber band used to make "End Bullying" bracelets
From Chip Ahoy and Oreo Cookies
I'm from the streak lightning that rushes through your body
 After an embarrassing comment from an acquaintance in
Front of your crush

I am from a mud house
From the bamboo straws used for the roof and the charcoal use to cook
 Dinner on the ground
I’m from that folk tale grandmother told me about the spider
 Who was clever and spun a web all the Way up to the sky God to get all the stories in the world and After his 3 challenges got a golden box With all the stories in it
