I am from dark hallways filled with shadows of yesterday's memories,

From hallowed corners where the broken once stood.

I am from holes in the walls from last night's treacheries,

From the rain of a daughter's thoughts about leaving, wishing she could.

I am from sleepless nights spent pondering many things,

From being swallowed by consciousness.

I am from loud silences that simple uncaring beings,

From sweet-nothings presented by a yellow sun's boldness.

I am from realization and regret,

From bad memories you won't forget.

I am from apologies and changes,

From hugs, kisses and make ups.

I am from new loving exchanges,

From helping hands and caring buildups.

I am from fresh starts and whole hearts,

From family and being happy.

I was from dark hallways filled with shadows of yesterday's memories,

I am from dark to light.
