This is a poem that I wrote that basically sums me up except that I love Star Wars  so here it is:



Where I'm From



I am from the roar of engines,

the dirt in my face and the smell of racing fuel.

I am from always got my whipping shoes on,

and the gatherings on every holiday.

I am from exploring the trees,

getting caught in the rain

but it didn't matter.



I am from red velvet cake,

and sweet tea.

I am from hymns,

and Sunday lunches.

I am from many siblings

that drive me crazy

yet I don't know what I would do without them.



I am from the every other weekends

and holding back the tears after leaving.

I am from the teachers kid,

and my papaw's greasy, rough fingers.

I am from strength when my uncle won his big race

to the day they found his sickness.

Love, strength, hurt, pain

things that have hit a tree with many branches and leaves 

yet it never falls.



I AM FROM THIS TREE.
