Here I am today
Standing in front of my mirror
But I will never forget where I come from
I was once a hobo
Having no food to eat
Having no clothes to wear
Having no shelter to sleep at
I know the thunderstorm rains
I know sleeping in pipes
I know all dustbin foods
I know the smell of wet soil
The pain of sleeping hungry
The pain of praying all night
The pain of being kicked off
The pain of being teased
I know them all
The pipes given birth to me
They took care of me
Given me a shelter over my head
Given me a proper home
Today I am a young woman but I will never forget where I come from
Where I Come From
Happy Kgame
Poet's note: I wrote this form on behalf of young children out side there
Who don't have homes
Who are struggling to get food
To inspire them that life always have challenges but out of all we need to believe on our selves
Know that God will help us
