Where I’m From
I am from despising to be the same as everyone else
Found music with more meaning
Found happiness in passion
I am from passion for giving
For giving is caring

I’m from crooked teeth and choppy bangs
Brown and blue created green
Summertime freckles
I’m from heartbreak nurtured with deceit
Took more from me than I could give
A scratched vinyl record, Tourist History
I’m from many friends to few
A reflection of myself
The touch of dewy grass under bare feet
I’m from longing to be in the city
Small towns always welcome me
Population 601
I’m from the desire for something greater than myself
Shy yet outspoken
We all bleed the same way

I am from anticipation for what’s yet to come
Yet all the while
Nostalgia embeds itself within me
