I'm from.

Everything that I come from
  Brings me closer to who I am..

I’m from the nights
 When everything is so dark yet bright
 Sleeping people and scurrying animals
 No one hears the screams or fights that happen in the night
 Soon it shall be alright it will be bright
 
 I’m from the days
 That pass us by like a freight train
 Moving so fast its just a blur
 Sucking all the light in and not letting it go
 For it will be gone to fast that we don’t know
 
 I’m from those moments
 That you always seem to remember
 Sticking in the back of your head
 Never releasing its death grip to you
 Even the butcher down the lane couldn’t make it let go
 
I’m from back in the day
Sleeping with teddy bears everywhere
Crying my heart out from sand in my eyes
Screaming in fright from ""Are you afraid of the dark""
Falling asleep on the couch in the middle of the night

I’m from weather
Thunderstorms and rainy nights
Dark gloomy clouds hanging up high
Booms of thunder shaking the skies
Warning us to go inside

I’m from summer
Lighting bugs fluttering in the night sky
Broken swing at the park swinging by and by
Waffle ball and playing silly little games
Looking forward to another adventure to happen another day

 I’m from a tree
 A root that no one sees
 Walking all over yet not a sound
 A leaf always changing in color
 But will always remain the same

I’m from the roads
Leading the paths I walk consuming my time
Uneven pavement trying to find my way
Sometimes running away from all the things
That the day hold in its hands

I’m from the projects
Ice cold grape koolaid on a hot  muggy windy day
Red colored brick house that all look  the same
 Waking up in the middle of the night in fright
Hearing gun shots a house away

I’m from school days
Ancient vicious teachers screaming to be quite
Pages after pages for work that we will never use
Falling in a slumber in a wooden chair
Jumping up and running out the door hearing the bell

I’m from art
Days with construction-paper and glue
You know the days that ended with an ""ewwwww.""
Growing up to see what a good artist I could be
Maybe one day it will happen we will have to wait and see

I’m from music
Teaching me who I am
Blaring in my ear every second of the day
Humming the song and singing in my head
 Where every lyric is like a day of my life.


I’m from books
Reading till my brain stops understanding the words
Slowly shutting eyes and dropping head
Drooling on the comic book pages
Ink stain all over my face

I’m from Abc’s
A you’re so adorable
B you’re so beautiful
C yourcut on you wrist make you cuter than a button
Words echoing down the hallways


I’m from I love you
All those amazing hugs she gave
Her kisses so sweet swiping me off my feet
Holding me in her arms looking at the stars
Never forgetting the times we shared

I’m from I miss you
Clear blue tears rolling down my cheeks
Falling onto the ground forever lost
Nothing stays the same for to long
Mistakes are just to wrong

I’m from myself
Learning more about me day after day
Seeing life in different and new ways
No letting anyone change me into something else
Thats where I’m from
