Where I Am From

I am from a caring family,

Aunts and Uncles, Cousins and beloved Grandparents,

All whom I love so dearly.

I am from a family so full of love,

Who sticks together through thick and thin.

I am from a beautiful home,

From a flourishing vegetable garden and a large back yard.

I am from the tall trees which grew all around me,

The same trees in which allowed me to hide away from my reality.

I am from the crack of twigs underneath my pop's footsteps,

As he teaches me the ways of survival

For if I ever find myself lost.

I am from the music blasting through my headphones,

Silencing my everyday thoughts.

The same thoughts that wish to be heard,

but are never to be heard.

I am from the tears that I shed,

And the happiness I endured.

I am from everyday change and moving,

Every place being different than the one before.

From hurt I endured or hurt I may have caused.

But also from staying strong,

For I can conquer all that I must.

I am from...

The few words of a never ending story.
