I am from gun shots and Syrians hiding under the shadow of night, from guns found in back yards by children left by bad men. I am from blood on the ground from the night before this is the evil I have lived through even though I haven't lived half my life. I am from mother's tears and empty bullet shells, this evil has taken my child hood and will never give it back but there were also good things. I am from home cooked meals almost every night, from a loving family. I am from four father figures because mine was taken away, from weekends spent with grand parents! I'm from toys to stop me from thinking about the evil in the world rough but easy that was my life. I'm from sports that allowed me to turn all the anger and hate into something positive. from the cracks of the world now showing.
