poetry.

i am from

i am from nowhere

i have no country, no creed, no person to pledge myself to

i am my own, and that's enough

but if you need more from me, I will give you what you wish for

i am from dark nights and harsh words

from suffocating eyes, and reaching hands

i hail to the birds

and to the clouds

that have taught me so much more

about myself

than any class ever could

i am from starry skies

side by side with myself on a blanket

wondering how it is possible

to be made from the same atoms as those pinpricks in the sky

i am from heartache, but I don't dwell on that

i am from the trees, raised by the creatures dwelling within

i told you I don't have any place I'm loyal to

but by god

i was shaped nonetheless
