from me to you.
i am from art, any which way it is to be perceived
from music and friday night lights
i am from the the suburbs, a simple condo with a hall of fame football player upstairs right by a fire station and elementary school with a messy courtyard and a swing-set
plain, quiet, perfect for practicing
i am from white wildflowers,
the type of ones you would see on the side of the road on a car ride
i'm from love and kindness
from {redacted} , who even though i’m 15 feels like a soulmate in the platonic sense
and {redacted}, even though she's younger than me seems like an older sister
i'm from the silly and sarcastic
from i love you and i miss you
i'm from my own path , one that does not consist of a book or scroll
i'm from not knowing my ancestry, nor caring where i’m from
from the day the bus broke down, the day we won grand champions, the day only consisting of pure joy
the way that even though not blood, {redacted} seems like my little brother
how we both protect and care for one another
football fields and marching bands
flag poles, and rifles,
i am from every flaw
every mistake and vice.
because,
i am from me.

when i was told to write about where i was from i thought about it because home is relative happiness is relative so i put my own spin because i'm not from my birth parents or my parents now i am from me and what i made myself.
