Im From...


Im from.. tea in the sun From the freedom to run on your own From the openness of the country Im from.. a moving car From constantly changing schools From the different cultures From never knowing right from wrong Im from.. rough times through ideals From fighting for rights in my household From wanting to get out Im from.. The smell of baked goods From home cooked meals Im from.. A loving mother From an individuals heart bigger than a lion From someone that gave up everything for me Im from a broken family with issues unknown From people that never tried From elders who never knew Im from wanting more for myself From getting great grades From keeping my head high Im from the love of sports From always cheering From never sitting down Im from a complicated background From so many layers From various secrets never told From laughter From tears From fears From independence in my own mind
