Why fit in when you were born to stand out?


I am from long winding trail ways covered with leaves. 

I am from sunshine, I am from bees. 

I am from gardens and creeks and trees. 

I am from trail ways covered with leaves. 


I am from mud on my rain boots and dirt in my hair. 

I am from big messy tablecloths, cluttered with care. 

I am from late nights with secrets to share.

I am from dried mud and dirt in my hair. 

 

I am from the sunsets, painted high in the sky. 

I am from grass stains and bright fire flies.

I am from laughter that sounds louder outside. 

I am from sunsets, high in the sky. 


I am from the house that welcomes mistakes. 

I am from the house that gives but never takes. 

I am from the house with windows open wide, 

welcoming all forms of nature inside. 


I am from nature, a love that never leaves.

I am from sunshine, and big brave strong trees. 

I am strong too, with roots that grow deep. 

I am from trail ways covered with leaves.

Everyone is from somewhere. I think it's important to know where you are from and accept and celebrate what makes you who you are.
