I'm from my mother and father, who were in high school when I was born. I'm from a greased up, muddy truck that my dad and I would work on. I'm from church, full of friendly faces. I'm from the lake where my papa and I would go fishing on his boat. I'm from a bowl of hot chili during the winter on my birthday. I'm from a pallet of paint, waiting to be used. I'm Perrysburg, born and raised. I'm from Ralphie's where my boyfriend works, and my family went after every basketball game. I'm from a baseball bat hanging on a chain link fence. I'm from the 90's, listening to old school rap. Biggy, Missy Elliot, TI... I'm from a house divided, OSU and MU. I'm from scarlet and grey. I'm from big parties, and multiple Christmases. I'm from a pencil, writing. I'm from art classes, and music classes. I'm from the beautiful sound of a viola in an orchestra. I'm from memories and stories told to me by my great grandma. I'm from a great uncle, a knife thrower in the circus. I'm from a piano bought used. In the family for 75 years, and handed down to me. I'm from Edlewiess, and Broadway. I'm from here, now. A high school senior ready for life.
