Alaine's Poem

I am From

I am from popcorn shells to peanut butter and strawberries.
I am from a place that rainbows aren’t wanted.
I am from Chris Brown “kiss kiss” to T-pain “buy u a drank”
I am from aim to family guy and skinny jeans and tight shirts.
That’s where I’m from!
I am from a place where girls rule all.
I am from a place where rice, beans, chicken are like a restaurants dish.
A place where my hommies got my back, Nena, Muneca, Golda, Flaca, Tweety, Cabbage, and Betty, Ya know who ya are!
Im from celebration parties to even drop it like it’s hot.
Im from tha the quieta and quiate lavoca.
I’m from Puerto Rico to Panama and south side Bronx.
Im from nikes to jordans and even betty boop slip ons.
Im from corn braids to pony tails to crimpin my hair.
Im from chris and yoli to shorty and bebe.
Im from pernil to sancocho and aros con poyo and pizza.
Im from payless to old navy to the dollar store.
From one minute friendly to another minute sad.
Im from I got your back and wats good my dude.
I am from the hood!
From dreams of being a model to dreams of being a pro dancer.
And I was and will always be from love.
