what i'm from / my home

written May 2017

~

i'm from pink princess toys whispering curse words, and my mother's famous saying.

i'm from KD and slenderman's field at 4 am, at 4 years old.

i'm from seal shaped crackers and pencils galore.

i'm from the grade two corner at my old school, exchanging secret crushes.

i'm from screaming, and crying and dad in jail.

i'm from bruises and cuts and wooden old playgrounds.

i'm from astrology and homemade dresses and many, many lost socks.

i'm from home.

where i wish i was..
