Where I'm From
I am from hiding.
From being self conscoious
about what people think of me.
I am from constanty biting my tongue
even though what I wanted to say
was extremely useful and valuable.
I am from being sared,
where you feel as if being yourself
isn't good enough.
I am from being antisocial around strangers
to being extremely outgoing around people close to me.
I am from crowded hallways,
so crowded that you get bumped
and tripped everytime you turn.
I am from rosy cheeks,
that looked like tomatos everytime someone approached me.
I am no longer from behind the curtain.
I am now from making friends and doing my best
even if I get a little embarrassed.
I am from not sweating the small things,
but focusing more on my future.
I am from being talkative and being outspoken,
rather than not saying what I think or
how I feel.
I am from life lessons,
lessons that have enlightened me and have
opened my eyes to who I really am.
This is who I have become.
