I am from blades, from Monster and Kodiak. I am from the twilight skies on my rooftop. Angled, Dangerous. echoing low noftes bellow in the valley where I lay in pieces. I am from the petals of the Oriental Cherries, the eroded shoreline that once safe sanctuary turned to the eye of the hurricane
I'm from locking myself away from the arguements and decorating my sister's grave with withered roses, from Danielle and Grant. I'm from the rip tides of grief and regret that follows my father, and the lonesome, aged embrace of my brother, from everything happens for a reason and just keep fighting and maybe we'll be alright. I'm from scorched dreams And they've kept me afloat long enough for me to locate and touch down in the shallows.
I'm from Irish, obvioulsy more then tipsy grandparents, maple syrup rolls and Kool-Aid packets. From the unfortunate instability of my brother's mountain bike the speckled, flexed "glass" skin that holds my grandmothers spirit.
Tangled amongst the stinging nettles Searing away all my past regrets My background shocks my ground Raising my cracked, frayed spirits to my spot that's atop the rooftop, Getting lost in the city of constellations I come from uncertain outcomes and fatally close calls.
School assignment inspired by a song and memories. Thanks to my best friend, it's only a close call, not the end.
