Definition is in the Destination
Location
I have lived a live of turbulence
unrooted like a weed
but though I was taken from gardens of eden
it was with fate that I was freed
I landed in greener pastures
although to me they were but ash
for though it was yet another paradise
I longed for nothing more than my island past
and in that I found my greatest vice
although I do define myself
as a budding flower from Hawaii
it is from my west-coast sea-side tourist trap
that I have watched the many years go by
and now I am defined
by the hills and beaches and art
that raised me from my wild youth
and found a place within my heart
and in that I now realize
I am an aspiring artist
I am a product of the sea
I am a nature lover
I am defined by what’s around me
My family gave me values
and my friends provided life
my education encouraged fascination
whilst my choices caused me strife
It is no use to pretend
that we are not all the same
Pretend what you wish
but we are all the products of where we came
and in that we should find pride
