I Come From (Poem)

This is an exerpt of an example of the basic "I Come From" poem:

I come from Worthdale a middle class neighborhood of mostly whites til "we" all took over
I come from KP born and raised in Smithfield who walked 50 miles to school to and from in the snow
and Reverend, Doctor Patricia Williams whose mother Mattie was the first black to sit at the Woolworth's counter in the 60's.

I come from "Get up girl. We all going to church tonight"....on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays
I come from "you boy crazy" to "you are going to do great things" and "you can be anything you want"
I come from huge family reunions and thespian camps to
having a baby at 18 and wondering how I became a statistic.

I come from "wanna fight, lets fight" to "I'm a lover not a fighter"
I come from Cindi Lauper's, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" to Princes' "Purple Rain and Marvin's "Sexual Healing" and Lionel Richie's "Dancing on the Ceiling".......

Now it is your turn to create your personalized poem.  Tell me where you come from. 

Have fun!
