Hey guys! So this is a poem I wrote for my creative writing class and I wanted to share it with you all! I hope you enjoy!
————
I'm from the country and cornfields, to the big brick walls of my manor like home. My long stone driveway carving a path to my house and my mom's garden outlining the estate.
I am from swim pools and water toys, from offices and minty paste. I am from the warm sheets under my bed as my dogs cuddle close to my equally warm body.
I am from sun and crisp clean skies, as the sun sets over the seventh month.
I am from fantasies and realities, grown up to be both believable. They say books can't always be real, but the lessons written within, I'll always cherish. The inspiration I've gotten from the Potter novels will never be forgotten.
I am from smart alecs and those who always ask what's next. As my brother, Callen, sits dazed and bored, I'm out and using my own head to create a world of my own. It's interesting to see the effort between us both... It surely is.
I am from those who are normal, and the outliers who can't lick the frosting off the spoon. Having no insulin in my body can cause shame over stereotypes, but I've kept my head held high and stuck to the facts of my fairly unique pancreas.
I'm from my grandfather's rare blue eyes, like small orbs of the ocean trapped within the irises, throughout all the wondrous brown eyes. He was close to me, but as my cousin entered the world, the same year he passed onto the next realm of life.
I'm from the dining room table, my family sitting close around me as we wait for the Christmas brunch to be finished by my parents. Talking about gifts and what we're all thankful for, to my dogs trying to sneak in through the metal wired gates. We keep conversations light and cheery as we eat and practically devour the table.
I am who I'm from, and nothing can change me.
