Where I’m From
I’m from backyards filled with roses
rainbow koi filled ponds
I’m from 2 barking yellow labs
from laughter fun and hope
I’m from bookshelves filled with
love, mystery, life, and death
I am from this country filled with freedom
from war against myself
I’m from waiting in the hospital
asking for results
I'm from daydreams
nightmares
nights filled with screams
I'm from first chances,
second chances,
third chances,
no chances
From music sweat and costumes
high gold medals
platinum trophies
I am from this changing universe
I’m from backyards filled with roses
rainbow koi filled ponds
I’m from 2 barking yellow labs
from laughter fun and hope
I’m from bookshelves filled with
love, mystery, life, and death
I am from this country filled with freedom
from war against myself
I’m from waiting in the hospital
asking for results
I'm from daydreams
nightmares
nights filled with screams
I'm from first chances,
second chances,
third chances,
no chances
From music sweat and costumes
high gold medals
platinum trophies
I am from this changing universe
