This is a poem about where I'm from.
Where I’m from there are no problems, people don’t seek help
Everyone is the picture of perfection in itself
Where I’m from people don't get sad or for that matter depressed
People never lay in bed all day they get up and get dressed
There are no broken homes and kids don’t run away
No such thing as crime, criminals, or rainy days
Where I’m from kids don’t drink and drive, snort, sniff, or get blown
Parents are always right and every house is a home
People don’t commit suicide and homicides don’t take place
Life is a walk in the park, no longer a rat race
Your father doesn’t lift his hand to your mother and certainly not to you
There is no such thing as physical, mental, and definitely no verbal abuse
Where I’m from there isn’t an illness Tylenol can’t heal
People don’t lie or cheat so why else would they steal
No child without a father and no babies having babies
No parents questioning what if, if only, or just maybe
A mind is never wasted and always put to work
Your boss is just the nicest guy no longer a big, fat jerk
Where I'm from hope does more than float, it washes ashore
Opportunity never knocks it walks right in the door
Where I’m from no, stop, and don’t are words you never have to repeat
Somehow the grass manages to stay green on both sides of the street.
