Where I'm From

I am ambitious and colorful
I wonder if people realize that their every move affects everyone, even in the littlest ways
I hear "kss" from Pepsi bottles being opened everyday at lunch freshman year
I see things going the way they could've gone. would've gone, should've gone
I want community unity and kids to have eachother's backs
I am ambitious and colorful
I pretend that everyone is as innocent and pure as I'd like to believe, knowing deep down that some people are the way they are because they want to be
I feel enlightened when doves fly ahead and proving that silver linings do exist
I touch polished nails and curly hair
I worry that my brothers and sister will grow up to become something they don't want to be
I cry when I see people that have such potential give it all up just to assimilate, not knowing that they could have respect even when they're being different from everyone else
I am ambitious and colorful
I understand that to be one of the best, you have to understand that your aren't THE best
I say it's better late than never and to try, try again
I dream that my family will find peace
I try to help others before myself, knowing that to help others you have to help yourself first
I hope that everyone finds that special moment in life when you can smile and be happy without any cares in the world
I am ambitious and colorful
