Where I am From
I am from the sunrise
From watching the magnificent stars...
I am from constellations
From wishing on a falling star.
I am from separated parents
From seeing two lovers fall apart...
I am from house to house
From seeing my two homes spreading farther and farther apart.
I am from tears falling down my face
From my loved ones saying goodbye...
I am from watching them leave
From fearing that it was our last goodbye.
I am from standing behind the curtain
From wondering if they see me...
I am from putting up walls
From building up bricks by bricks hiding the real me.
I am from forced smiles
From twitching cheeks...
I am from being embarrassed
From rosy cheeks.
I am from fights
From broken hearts...
I am from seeing the best in people
From having too big of a heart.
I am from simple things
From jumping and dancing...
I am from seeing those I love
From on the stage dancing.
I am from new places
From seeing things as if they were from a dream...
I am from going nowhere
From fading away like an ending dream.
I am from mystery
From books and movies...
I am from acting like a princess
From Disney movies.
I am from the beach
From tasting the salty water...
I am from accidental events
From almost drowning in water.
I am from leaping frogs
From hopping bunnies...
I am from early childhood memories
From waiting for the Easter bunnies.
I am from my dreams
From never ending nightmares...
I am from tragic events
From real life nightmares.
I am from the sun
From the moon...
I am from sitting on my Daddy’s lap
From reading Goodnight Moon.
I am from growing older
From becoming wiser...
I am from newly learned tricks
From sisters who think they are wiser.
I am from sounding like my life is a tragedy
From lies and honesty that will never be...
I am from living my life the way I want to
From becoming the person the stars, constellations, and sunrises want me to be.
