I finally finished my poem. It's not the best poem I've written, but it's not the worst either.  Check it out and leave comments. Tell me whether you enjoyed reading it or not and how it made you feel. I'm looking forward to hearing what you all have to say.

Where I am from

I am from black rice and green beans
from tear filled eyes to unrealistic dreams
I am from a place of laughter, a place of pain
a place where an orphan watched his mom die and was never the same
I am from a land of sorrows and useless pities
where empty words are expected to rebuild cities

I am from large chunks of rubble that was once a home
that is still the only roof over the heads of some
I am from swollen bellies and skinny arms
of people who once owned large filled farms
I am from thousands of lifeless human carcasses scattered all over the thick mud
Putrid foul odors emerging from their sour smelling blood

Where am I from ? Are you still unaware?
Or are are you like the others and no less you could care
Where am I from ? Is the location still unknown
In a small house in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti is where I call home
Where am I from ? Still blind as to what this means ?
I am from black rice and delicious green beans.
