Detroit is my city

Detroit is my home

It’s where I learned to walk

It’s where I said my first words


It’s where I learned to read

Where I spend my whole life


Where I met friends

Where I lost friends

Where I got my first pet


Where I found what music I like

Where I found my first love


It’s where I found new things

Where I learned from my mistakes

Where I learned to love myself


Where I love the smell of the water

Where I lost people


Where I lost myself

Where I moved around

Did I miss my old town?


Where I learned poetry

It’s where I found what I love


It’s where I found people I love

It’s where I found you

It’s where I found myself


Detroit is my home

This piece is about where I grew up and how I grew up. It was very funny to remember all the things I did before.
