I am from "Shut up" and "Why are you so stupid?" From an older brother who's opinion for some reason matters From skinny jeans, skull shirts, dresses, and boots I'm from cheeseburgers and fries with family and ice cream cake I'm from hay rack rides on haunted trails during Halloween
I'm From sheet music that comes to life with each note From the smell of my leather jacket in the rain I'm from dream boards and bucket lists From clarinets and microphones From "you're Michael's little sister?" or "you're Mrs. Hanson's daughter?"
I am from the black, grey and white ball of fur cuddling next to me while I sleep From my best friends tears as I beg her not to go and trying to make her feel better in hopes she'll be ok From my boyfriend's smile that transports me to a completely different universe. I am from days at work and weekends with friends
I am from learning: There aren't always happy endings but you have to keep trying until you find one Music and books taught me that we can escape from our reality And my mom, who taught me everything I know
My friend gave me a sample poem someone else wrote with the "I am from" topic. I figured I would try my own.
