Where I'm From

I’m from a big city

A city that I don’t remember

Pittsburgh I lived for a year as a baby

Leaving every family member for my dad's job

I’m from the beach

The sand in my toes

One years old up to twelve years old

Crying once it was time to move for a new job

I’m from depression taking over

Losing my friends since I was little

Having to meet new people

Not fitting in,I’m a beach girl not a Nova girl

I’m from being a victim of being bullied

Not standing up for myself

A girl who almost lost her mommy

A girl who didn’t know how to be happy anymore

I’m from a girl who broke out her shell

A girl who stood up for herself

Found my happy place called lacrosse

Lost my place from knee surgery

Fought the recovery and found that place again

I am from finding a best friend I can tell anything

I am from being able to trust someone with so much

I am from keeping my best friend in line just like she does for me

I am from having Diana making true laughter come through

Summer days hanging out every single day

Finding another sister in my life

I am from a rough time into happiness

Mommy, dad, Brooke, and Diana

Helping me through roughness

Now knowing I’m worth more than I thought

Ups and downs into strongness

Happy smiley person again
