I Am From
I am from the baracles
from the bottom of speedboat.
I am from the waves
from the breaking water
th buoy floating
from the safe zone.
I am from the broken sidewalks
from avoiding stepping on cracks
to not break our mother's back.
I am from the sweat on a cheek
from running on a 7:30 am workout
I am from a pot of steamed veggies
from the nutritional facts on a package
from the bikini swimsuit tan
from the sand between my toes.
I am the tears leaving the eyes
from constant laughter
from insiders and those lame moments
I am from the snowy winter
from the forts, snowmen, and hot cocoa
I am from the computer screen
from the apps and downloads.
I am from a crayon box
from short, broken, unsharpened ends
from a variety, quality, and execution
from a mix, a sea of a hot mess
from a 64 pack
from the clearance section.
