I+Am+From+Poem+Yesenia

“I Am From” I am from a family picture in every room, from a black Sanyo 48” plasma television and a pool in my backyard. I am from a big six bedroom house with a backyard that has beautiful flowers. I am from a neighborhood that has a lot of graffiti in private property and too much violence. I am from Christmas dinners and loud voices, from Martha and Sabas and from going out as a family. I am from the “go do your homework” and “leave the television alone for a while”. I am from Chicago and Mexico. I am from Jennifer Lopez and I’m into you. I am from cell phones and laptops and from facebook. I am from malls and parks and from my room. I am from you can be who you want to be.
