“I am from” poem {all about me} by Julie B

“I am from” poem {all about me}
I am from reflections of mirrors and brushes and combs
I am from garbage cans with dogs and with old people sitting talking gossip like
“Why are little kids dressing like they all pretty so men can do something
bad to them”
I am from trains and crowded buses that sounds like a whole bunch of dogs barking at once. I am from community centers too.
I am from my mother Sinoun and my cousin Loreal which they both look exactly like me, also my cousin which swears that she has a big booty
I am from food like hot, spicy curry and delicious chicken
I am from “Yo bye me something” to “Missy stop acting like everything’s yours”
I am from memories in my closet and my grandma’s too.
I am from a family whose tongues speak Cambodian and English.
I am from Volleyball and Handball too.
I am from wavy/puffy, to long brown and black hair.
I am from the rhythem of kinds of music like freestyle to hip-hop.
All of this comes from a Cambodian!!

I am from popcorn shells to peanut butter and strawberries.
I am from a place that rainbows aren’t wanted.

I am from aim to family guy and skinny jeans and tight shirts.

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.
