I am from love that is not real
And lies that last for years
I am from goodbyes
And court dates
New hellos
And blind dates
I am from white dresses
And multiple new homes
I am from lost friendships
And phone calls late at night
I am from monkey bars
And giant Swedish meatballs
I am from scrapes and bruises
Laughs and smiles
Pigtails that curl
And seesaw launches
I am from heart break
And a man who doesn’t care
I am from hate
For a man whose
Never ever there
I am from trivia
And horror
I am from the heroin diaries
And love songs
I am from vampires
And darkness
Fairies and light
Dragons and fire
And moonlit nights
I am from marshmallow guns
Nerf bullets
And baseballs
I am from frozen water bottles
And name calling
I am from hope
Of better things
And knowledge to collect
I am from books
Poems and movies
I am from tulips
And roses
Sunflowers and pie covered faces
I am from missing buses
Libraries
And clean white halls
I am from sterile needles
Blood testing
And hand holding
I am from curley fries
Funny pictures
And scrap books
I am from bandaids
Bloody noses
And flowing tears
I am from a heat that is too trusting
Broken souls
And wounded minds
I am from powdered milk
A lack of salt
And more needles to come
I am from dogs and cats
Birds and mice
I am from new introductions
Hiding in a corner
And trying not to talk
I am from showing off
Failing epically
Torn jeans
Apple juice
And finally being seen
I am from broken ear drums
And hugs
I am from pain that fills
And the strength
To go on
I am from life
Joy and pain
I am from myself
And being who I am
I am from insanity
And acting retarded
I am from confusion
And being confuzled
I am from hyperactivity
And staying up late
I am from me, myself, and I
And I have the ability
To be anything
I am from everything
I am from nothing
I am from lies and truths
I am from me
I am from a new life
Dashed dreams
A boy who really sees me
For only me
I am from turtles
And chocolate muffins
Smiling faces
And closed up spaces
I am from twilight
And new moon
Kiatana and Keanu
I am from old shoes
Knee holes
And an ugly bruise
I am from joy at last
Because I found my way
To save this new day
I am from glasses
That others wear
Breakdowns
And no more tears
I am from love
And hearts handmade
Stupid stunts
And loud mouths
I am from hello kitty
Stickers
Dinosaurs
Bubbles
Pancakes
And parties full of fun
I am from this
That, and the other thing
From up, down
Left, right
From overachieving
And over confidence
From As and Bs
Tons of stories
And late night twirls
I am from orange sweaters
Glass swans
Mr. Moot
And portraits hand drawn
I am from bad knees
Creepers
And random laughs
I am from a squeaky sneeze
A loud yawn
And giant picture frames
I am from old memories
Futures, pasts, and presents
I am from Poe, King
And everything unseen
I am from a heart heeled
By a love I never knew
A heart that fits
Perfectly with mine
I am from finally happy
And free of pain
I am from finding old friends
Facebook
Bumperstickers
And flair
I am from his smile
His laugh
His blue-green eyes
And his curling hair
I am from his happiness
That brings me joy
And his sorrow
That brings me pain
I am from a lasting joy
Three babies that are not yet born
Friendships that last forever
And lesbo moments
I am from joint lockers
Fake fights
Random noises
And food snatchers
I am from forever
And never
From the beginning
And the end
I am from you
And from me
From him
And from her
From Adam and Eve
From joy and pain
Love and depression
Hate and forgiveness
I am from fallen angels
Girls already dead
And werewolves
On the run
I am from baking days
And lazy days
Reading days
And active days
I am from cut grass
And swing sets
Cookies and milk
Or no milk at all
I am from Pancakes
And helping Bubbles
I am from random pregnancies
Epic deaths
Depressing ends
And war that keeps lasting
I am from anorexics
Bulimics
Druggies
Alcoholics
And the depressed
I am from marriages
And fights
I am from those barren
Those left behind
Those looking for more
Those needing help
Those hurting
Those losing
And those winning
In the end
I am from saving lives
From the brink of the end
I am from trying so hard
To be a decent friend
I am from hiding
Fake smiles
And scars only I can see
I am from leaving one
Finding something better
I am from bright dresses
And surgery to fix a problem
Only I can really see
I am from too much weight
That causes pain, whistles and cat calls
I am from better than yesterday
And not retiring in the end
From happy days
And the times we all miss
I am from husbands are us
And buying extra so they don’t break
I am from his arms
His warmth
His kisses
His hands
I am from her smile
Her joy
Her friendship
Her crazy laugh
Her loud voice
Her brilliant ideas
I am from my pain
Pushed aside to fix hers
I am from braids and frizz
From being older
Yet younger
But somehow never changed
I am from websites
Comments
Fan fiction
I am from green
Blue
Orange
Pink
Red
Purple
White
Black
Yellow
I am from them
Us
We
Her
Him
The four of us together
Yet somehow so far apart
I am from his girl
Who doesn’t really care
From her man
Who is in despair
I am from my boy
Whose life is planned around mine
I am from not quite done
With all this school
From being surrounded
And saying what I feel
I am from everything
Sugar and spice
All that is nice
And chewing on ice
I am from swollen faces
Romantic spaces
I am from elves with curls
That roam hidden worlds
I am from the mage
Whose captured my heart
And the fire that burns
Even in the dark
