I am from “Hell”,
the house nobody could stand.
I am from “Her”,
the woman with the strong hand.
I am from the place,
where I did not want to be.
I am from the shadows,
where my face could not be seen.

I’m from a church,
a savior, and a book.
I’m from a courtroom,
with really funny looks.
I’m from a room,
that has red walls.
I’m from the kingdom,
that never falls.

I am from the outside,
looking in.
I am from a world,
of endless sin.
I am from a family,
where I do not belong.
I am from the radio,
where my heart can sing it’s song.

I’m from cussing, screaming,
and running away.
I’m from the past,
that comes back everyday.
I’m from a life of hatred,
and a loveless home.
I‘m from a place,
I don’t want to go.

I am from another world,
another life.
I am from a secret place,
where there’s no light.
I am from a,
black and white movie.
I am from the dreams,
inside of me.

I’m from someone,
who actually cares if I live or die.
I’m from somebody,
who lets me cry.
I’m from a maker,
that lives up high.
I’m from him,
whom I’ll see when I die.

I am from a life that means nothing,
An empty heart that longs to be filled
I am from the house at the end of the dead end road
Where the blood of my father was spilled
I am from a closet filled with clothes
A place that I was in for far too long
I am from coming out and walking tall
And standing so strong

I’m from that woman that I can’t stand to be near
The lady that claims that she loves me
I’m from the only real identity that I can ever have
And no longer having to live my life in fear
I’m from a school where I was a victim
But nobody ever seemed to notice
I’m from a place where I couldn’t hit them
But they made me a disgrace

I am from an empty box in the toy store
Where somebody has stolen a toy
I am from why nobody noticed
when the thief ran out the door
I am from a gift bag
For your momma’s birthday
I am from a decade
That makes being gay, okay

I’m from wearing a tux
Instead of a dress
I’m from being who I am
And not what they expect
I’m from a relationship
Where I gave my all
I’m from the reality
Where she broke my heart

I am from the edge
of a broken piece of glass
I am from falling
And nearly busting my a**
I am from a ride on the bus
In a noisy crowded seat
I am from the house with no air
And I can’t stand the heat

I’m from the end of a graphic novel
Where the main character survives
I’m from a crazy fairytale
Where my super power is telling lies
I’m from a ripped page
And a torn up script
I’m from a crazy downward spiral
Like Alice when she tripped

I am from my life
And my own journey
I am from an ending
That is really a new beginning
I am from a happy day
Where I ask a girl out and what does she say?
YES!

That’s where I am from
