Where I've Come From
Location
I am from destruction,
Destroyed emotions and abandoned kids.
I am from dirt soup,
Long summer days
Soaking in the sun,
Playing in the lawns,
Finding my friends.
I am from books,
With sleepless nights
Spent as another person.
I am from summers,
Spent with seagulls and sand.
I am from a family with a set of mirrors,
In a city where history is alive.
I am from bluegrass and horses,
Pig roasts and bonfires,
With so many strange faces,
yet all my own.
I am from XU,
from books and IQ's.
I am from cruises and chief ngineers.
I am from love woven into sweaters.
I am from time,
From Doctors without a name.
I am from spaceships and aliens,
And a man whom death cannot take.
I am from people who tore me apart
And left me to bleed.
I am from a savior,
Resuing me from all-encompassing blackness.
A savior I wish
Was there all along.
I am from coffee
And tall grass
With imagination gone wild.
I am from siblings galore,
Shouting to be heard.
I am from families
With many strange faces,
And memories lost to the winds of time.
I amf rom memories damaged in fights still going.
I am me.
