Where I’m Coming From
By Scott Jones
5th

I come from rhythm.
I can feel a beat in my mind and soul.
My minds on music and music’s on my mind.
Going through school knowing I should be trying harder.

I come from making my own decisions.
Most the time I learn the hard way.
I come from morale and respect for women.
But talking to women is more than a walk in the park.

I’m from the Trinity and crucifix.
I’m from the sacraments and the Virgin Mary.
I come from faith, hope and love.
Love is the greatest of all three.

I come from friends who are always on my back.
I come from “hey red face” and “you look like a tomato.”
Laughing and walking away is what makes me stronger.
Hate and sadness is what makes me fade away.

You've put together many ideas in a compelling way to reveal much of yourself.  Your openness is a very good trait.  Well done.  kayjay
