Where I am From

Wed, 05/08/2013 - 22:01 -- abrayel

I am from Love

A passionate, enchanting, Spontaneity filled Love.

A Till death do them part love...

I am from a single Mother

Death did them part, and brought us close

Our bond became enriched with dress up games, homework help, and confidential conversations

I am from a village

When death did them part, made her single, and brought us close; along came collaborators

Working on turning a princess into a mature, sophisticated and exceedingly successful, adult

I am from experience

A single mother and a village could only show me the way

I made the final decision

Whether it is to listen and take their word, or learn and take my own

Customarily I listened, but if there wasn’t an agreeance I took my chances

I am from education

“A’s and B’s, don’t bring home no C”, she would say

“Abrayel is a great student she received a B, but I know she’s capable of an A”, they would say

“Do good in school, and you’ll get a surprise”, they used to say

“I’m going to be exceptionally successful at whatever I choose to pursue”, I say!

I am from growth

Before I become an efficacious student and a beautiful, courageous woman

I will grow!
