Where I'm From

I am from pop music and writing,
from pencils and ipods.

I am from not knowing what to believe in,
from lack of religion.

I am from my mothers parenting,
from her loving fearlessness.

I am from the small yellow house,
from shingles and paint.

I am from having fears,
from failure to embarrassment.

I am from christmas carols,
from lying under the christmas tree.

I am from making mistakes,
from living life.

I am from the cupboard in my mothers bedroom,
where all the memories are kept.

That is where I am from.
