Where I'm From
I am from
Nestle chocolate milk
and mood rings, pink and purple.
From rat’s nest morning bed head
to runway ready in five
I am from Titian, the Great Dane
and inhaling a foot long then running 5k
From dingy NYC hospital beds
“My heart is beeping so fast, Mommy”
From life saving Defibrillators.
I am from slothful Sunday mornings
and obnoxious matching christmas pajamas
From wishing to be 5’9 like Mom,
and dreading traits received from my father.
Netflix marathons til’ 2 AM on a school night
I am from Harry Potter audio books,
and retail therapy that cures all
From the dragged out nights, turned mornings
Spent listening…
to Mom and Dad’s constant fights.
I am from broken promises. Broken marriages.
even a broken collar bone. Ouch
From remembering Life’s What You Make It…
“so let’s make it right”
GO Hannah Montana!
