Where I'm From

I'm from catching fish and piling wood.

From running in a field and sitting by a fire.

I am from lessons to be learned and mistakes to be made.

From lakes and creeks.

Trees and grass.

I am from dirt and mud.

I am from hide-n-seek in the yard,

To chasing the dog down the driveway.

From the pear tree with green fruit,

To my dads knife slicing it to pieces.

I am from the top of that hill in Highspire.

I am from Barney to Elmo.

Teletubbies to Disney.

From being together

and being torn apart.

From hockey to football,

Elbow pads and helmets.

I am from the tears of pain,

Tears of joy.

From the corner of my room,

Where I sat and thought

About the childhood memories

And things that will never be seen again.

From Mommy's alcohol,

To Daddy's night job.

I am from sitting with grandpa,

Looking through a telescope.

Listening to country and rock.

I am from the many places I call home.

From Mommy and Daddy's split,

To finding friends that understand.

Who will be with me till the end.

From a menacing step father

To living with grandpa again.

I am from these moments,

The moments that help me grow strong.

And from moments that I'll always remember.

I was debating whether or not I was gonna put this up or not. But since I already started I did it anyway. So here it is.

Also if anyone tries to steal Elmo from me I will not go down without a fight lol...
