I am from Hammond’s finest
But that is only a fairytale
I am from the forsaken land of past of Forestale
I am from battle wounds
Of pain and despair
I am from hopes and wishes
That weren’t ever there
I am from Power Rangers
That will always fight
The Red one will always be there for me
Day or night
I am from my mother
With strength in her heart
I am from the Father
And not that other old fart
I am from a father that wouldn’t let me see the sun
He wouldn’t let me see the sun
He wouldn’t let me see the light
And that was worse than any gun
I am from mistakes
That has been engraved in my past
And from happy retakes
That couldn't ever last
I am from my brother
Who told me about right and wrong
He told me that I would get through it
And just to follow God’s Psalm
I am from friends who became foes
From psychotic highs and deep end lows
I am from a place of sadness no one will ever know.
I am from scars that don’t show.
I am from a modeling career
That ended in great pain
A father ruined my self esteem
Since then I haven’t been the same
I am from pain I cannot escape
Yeah.
I was once from happiness
That was pure and alive
I didn’t need anything but myself
In order to survive
I am from Nebraska Ave.
Where I taught myself how to walk
I am from a mother that taught me how to talk
I am from my mother
Face it: they are always right!
We’re fighting this fight
We’re not ever going down
We both know we’re right
We might have dips, but we’re not going down tonight!
I come from my memory
Where thoughts are deep
I am from a mindless sleep
I am from a heart of love
Heaven sent because of Him above
I am from a heart of joy that doesn’t speak
I am from a warrior who hasn’t reached her peak
I am from memories that aren’t anywhere from weak
Simply said
I am from me.
Can A Road Change?

I truly know about low self esteem issues. It only takes one person that you believed in to turn your world upside down. I am better these days, but I had a seven year low when I thought the world would be better without me in it. It takes time and with some good encouragement things can get better...I should know for I'm a living example. Know this my pretty lady, you're more valuable than you can possibly know to me and many others. Your like a diamond that was destined to sparkle and shine! So please shine on crazy diamond and be as beautiful as the stars that shine at night like I know you can!

i love this samantha.
i mean wow.
for one, you mentioned the power rangers which im still smiling about. i pretty much was in love with them for like ever.
anyways, the whole set up of the poem is awesome. there is something about the way you go from the first who you are from to the end of being from you that just has this slow and gradual but in your face kind of impact.
you have some amazing talent. and everybody [and yes i do mean everybody] should see that.

oh wow, I like it...yes a road can change, from the sound of the poem, it changes all the time..if you mean change for the better, yes, of course!
i like this stanza
"I come from my memory
Where thoughts are deep
I am from a mindless sleep"
the only thing negative I can say is that it seems there are a lot of different ideas here...
