Where I'm From
I am from dishes stacked in the sink,
a basement flooding with stuffed animals and games from my childhood...
I am from a newly tuned guitar,
and music I wrote to share my thoughts...
I am from blonde hair and blue eyes,
three generations of the same smile...
I am not from disrespect and dishonesty,
nor disrupting a thought process…
I am not from an unsteady household,
nor forced smiles...
I am not from sadness and regret,
nor a family I despise....
But from Christ Our Savior church,
five blocks from where I grew up…
but from a miniature grocery store,
the rusty kids carts from years ago…
but from friends,
and swimming in sparkling pools on a scorching hot day...
I am from a newly tuned guitar,
and music I wrote to share my thoughts...
I am the notes that define me.
