Where I'm From

I am from

Mountain views

 Windex

And Mosquito Spray

From

Big balconies

Dusty

Loud

Home

From

Grassy hills

Olive trees

Standing in the blazing sun

From

Eating roasted watermelon seeds

On the porch

I am from

Loud talkers

Trying to speak in hushed tones

From Ayman

From Fadwa

From Amti Yasmin.

I am from

Lip biting

Arched brows

From

We are more blessed than others

Have you seen the news lately

I am from

Fasting the month of Ramadan

From

Sun up to sun down

From

Understanding how the poor do on a daily basis

I am from

Ramallah

Al Bireh

From

Hummus

From

Grape leaves stuffed with rice

From

Multiple mini marts my father worked in

To give his five children the best future possible

From

Time my mother took to get better at her english

To help my siblings and I

With our school work.

From

Family that strive to reach their goals

I am not from

No

I am
