I Am From

September 29, 2015

I’m from stories of the wars,

heroics and despair.

I am from tales of rural Italy,

where kings turned into dictators.

I am from a country long ago forgotten.

I am from America,

the Civil War shaping our location.

I am from parents, 70s taught, hard working,

thoughts of “It will get better.”

I am from being the eldest,

the guinea pig.

I am from 4.

I am from many.
