I’m white and black I am Belizean I remember feeling like a prisoner Locked up inside my own mind growing up I believe in God because, He saved me from major surgery a couple of months ago I value trust and honesty because; I didn’t see much of it in my family and neighborhood I am from Belize City and Los Angeles, California I come from God, He knows me better than I know myself I learned how to fight through boxing class, Now I back up what I say I am ambitious because, I am the loser that slipped through life’s cracks I’m like an Octopus: I multi task, I’m persistent and clever About how I peruse things I want I’m filled with joy and when I wake up every day I am a work of art, Chiseled from marble and granite Shannon Pollard ©May 2012

Where I’m from
I’m white and black I am Belizean I remember feeling like a prisoner Locked up inside my own mind growing up I believe in God because, He saved me from major surgery a couple of months ago I value trust and honesty because; I didn’t see much of it in my family and neighborhood I am from Belize City and Los Angeles, California I come from God, He knows me better than I know myself I learned how to fight through boxing class, Now I back up what I say I am ambitious because, I am the loser that slipped through life’s cracks I’m like an Octopus: I multi task, I’m persistent and clever About how I peruse things I want I’m filled with joy and when I wake up every day I am a work of art, Chiseled from marble and granite Shannon Pollard ©May 2012
