Quotes and Poetry

Poem 1

I am from a cozy purple blanket
From a radio and the smell of fresh cut grass
I am from a grey house filled with light
And family filled with craziness, love, and positive energy
I am from a mountain apple tree
Where we grow and show our colors of our personality along with our true self with the person who picked us as "just right"
I am from black coffee and teletubbies
From Fernandez and Woodward
I am from brown eyes and dark brown hair
And from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
From a tendency of wanting to be closer to the water for some healing
I am from a family that prays together... stays together, love together, grow together, fight together, and die together
I am from Kaumuali'i and Kamehameha
From smoke meat and lau lau
From war
And from royalty
Tears falling from my eyes, every night where I cried and asked myself why
I am from those moments where I was often hurt or "scared" only to make me stronger, wiser, and better than those who did me wrong
