There is the North, South, East, and West.
Then it expands to the north end, south end, east end, and west end.
I probably lived in all the areas at one point in my life.
We usually move every two years or so.
This is the type of city I'm from.
The type of city were people can come and say well, that's kind of...ghetto.
The type of city that is compared to Santa's work shop on T.V.
but not in a good way.
The type of city that has a lot of loud and crazy people. (which not all of us are by the way.)
The city I'm from is where my parents were born.
Where my parents grew up.
Where my parents had met.
Where my mother and father raised my brothers and I.
Where I grew up to be the quiet crazy and random guy I am.
The city I'm from is where I spend most if my summers with my two favorite cousins.
Laughing, playing and joking around.
But always end up sad at the end.
Waiting for another year to hang with them.
Hoping that it would go by fast.
The city I'm from is what my grandfather takes pride in.
Where you could always see him at his window.
Staring at the same brick building.
Listening to music and sitting in his big chair.
Having a care free life.
The city I'm from contains many of my friends.
The ones who make me laugh.
The ones who can spend hours on Skype with me.
The ones who truly care for me.
The ones who enjoy being around me.
The city I'm from is where my mom wants to move away from.
To a place far far away.
And with that happening.
I can truly say.
This is the city I am from.
I really liked your poem Jeremy. I can tell you have a lot of history with Bridgeport. Its the place where you and your parents grew up. I really like the part when you were talking about your friends (cough cough me) they seem like they're always there for you even if they're not physically with you. Overall good poem :D
