Where I'm From
I am from a time of doubting.
“You’ll never see the field,” “You won’t jump over 5’4.”
Determined and Pumped up.
I am from West Allis, Milwaukee.
Bars at every corner, streets never quiet.
Annoyed and Confused.
I am from driveway basketball with Jaylen.
Not stopping until it was 10 o’clock and mom yelling to get inside.
Eager and Working.
I am from a family of two brothers and two sisters.
None of them reach over 6’, the lone wolf.
Tall and Proud.
I am from a mindset of negative thoughts and lacking confidence.
“Am I good enough?”,”Will I clear that bar?”,”Oh no here we go again.”
Doubtful and Scared.
I am a senior, I did see the field, I did jump 5’10.
Always had a thing for proving people wrong.
Confident and Fearless.
