Where I'm From

(poems go here) I’m from God Not just one, but the other 33 million I’m from ice cream trucks and day care centers Where I had most of my childhood I’m from hide and seek Under the computer table. I’m from broken arms and legs. Five times until today. I’m from Pikachu and Squirtle They were my childhood. I’m from the tomatoes in the back yard. Dying out in the harsh winter. I’m from curry frying in the pot I’m from Oakbrooke Curve What I call the circle of life I’m from blood and bruises Staying in my memory I’m from what happens now Not what will or has happened I’m from video games Flowing through my veins But what matters most is that I’m from my parents, Helping me with life itself.
