I am from

I am from Dock 31 to the wall at school,

From being called FedEx and listening to stools.

A puzzle piece to the wrong puzzle, to old for the young kids to young for the old

Had to make my own family cause it felt like I had none.

I am from yelling lyrics while boarding down hills,

From “GVB” and cut off, being alone it kills.

To putting on a mask to be known and keeping it on so I'm not forgotten,

To my tap code in AMYA, always in my head never stoppin’.

I am from a friend listening to music showing me how to save a life,

From procrastinating, playing games almost to every single night.

From food to good to be true,

One good thing about my culture is the food rules.

I am from scribbling on papers, drawing things,

Writing books as thick as three rings.

Listening to music and sleeping is the only job i’m qualified for,

I have OCD, ADD, and a lot more.

I have one brother, one mom, three sisters that I’d die for, my dad is an eye soar,

I don't talk about him here cause that's a different story.

I don't know what the future holds, don't know if I’mma be famous or a bum,

But Dock 31, that’s where I’m from.
