I'm from a tree 

That nurtured me with glee

From books that helped me escape

And music that kept me awake

I am from the the chaotic sense of justice

The smell of Jack Daniels in the air

The feeling of nothing but fear

When they are near

I am from the thorn bush that hurts me in my brain

People say I'm not very sane

All I remember is that it rained that day 

I'm from anger and hate

My sisters constant fighting 

About how the other was lying

That night I wasn't anything but awake

As I quaked under their watchful gaze

I'm from liars and hiders and runners

Goes to show the world is nothing but a bummer

That it's not okay to cry 

It's okay to lie and pretend everything is fine

"Be Our Guest" to "A Whole New World" filled with liars

Beware of the cries

They're only doing it for attention 

Crying seem to be their new obession

I'm from beaches and places 

And also the golden state

Although, it isn't very great

But there is Silverwood lake

But with the long lines you should prepare for a long wait

From barbecue that are sometimes too hard to chew

To stories who said the first "I love you's"

From the pedestal I was placed

From the time my family once felt safe

An abundance of trophies 

That wasn't won of ease

From the leather jacket trapped in the closet

That also came with a matching helmet

I'm from my father who once kept me maintained 

Who will never be able to come back to this place

Family portraits I'm never in

But that's okay I'm use to getting exculded

I'm okay where I'm from

Because my story is not yet done

It's time to go out and have some fun

To a place where I finally one
