Where I Am From
I am from the Friday night lights...
the piercing pressure and screaming stadium.
I am from my family nervously watching...
through two lost championships.
I am from family trips to Florida, Mexico, and Pennsylvania...
from playing in the pool to visiting my cousins.
I am from beach walks and shell collecting...
trying to squeeze out every last minute.
I am from a clean house like a gleaming mirror...
and a mom that cares.
I am from being the shortest...
and looking up to my older brother.
I am from a dad to play catch with...
as the summer comes to an end.
I am from “Make sure you’re on time...”
and “Don’t stay up too late.”
I am from weekend sleepovers...
with blacktop basketball and pepperoni pizza.
I am from the Packers memorabilia in my room...
and baby pictures in the cabinet.
I am from being the quiet one...
but the elephant at home.
I am from loving the game...
the Friday night lights.
