WHERE I GREW UP FROM

Where I Grew Up From Where I grew up from It is a story that shapes our life and decides our destiny Pain that we inherit because our ancestors refused to heal Lies that we believed because that's what suited their heart Dragging us into fights we don't even know how it started Where I grew up from It is a story of survival, we all have to fight to remain No one cares about others, because that's how we were raised KkTo care is a weakness, so fighting we embrace So we do not know each other, because we are all trying to escape Where I grew up from It is a story where we have to learn on the go No one to sit you down on how to take things slow To love is being weak so our tears are not permitted to flow While surviving, we are learning character and emotional growth And when you fail at it? It's your cross to bear Where I grew up from It is a story we all will want to change But it is a long journey back to what it was meant to be Work of transformation must begin and unlearn what we used to believe Remaining under the learning so that our children will not have to tell the story of where I grew up from And if they must, a transformative one.
