I am from the sunrise
  From watching the magnificent stars...

I am from constellations
  From wishing on a falling star.


I am from separated parents
  From seeing two lovers fall apart...

I am from house to house
  From seeing my two homes spreading farther and farther apart.


I am from tears falling down my face
  From my loved ones saying goodbye...

I am from watching them leave
  From fearing that it was our last goodbye.


I am from standing behind the curtain
  From wondering if they see me...

I am from putting up walls
   From building up bricks by bricks hiding the real me.


I am from forced smiles
   From twitching cheeks...

I am from being embarrassed
   From rosy cheeks.


I am from fights
   From broken hearts...

I am from seeing the best in people
  From having too big of a heart.


I am from simple things
From jumping and dancing...

I am from seeing those I love
  From on the stage dancing.


I am from new places
  From seeing things as if they were from a dream...

I am from going nowhere
  From fading away like an ending dream.


I am from mystery
  From books and movies...

I am from acting like a princess
  From Disney movies.


I am from the beach
  From tasting the salty water...

I am from accidental events
From almost drowning in water.


I am from leaping frogs
From hopping bunnies...

I am from early childhood memories
From waiting for the Easter bunnies.


I am from my dreams
  From never ending nightmares...

I am from tragic events
  From real life nightmares.


I am from the sun
   From the moon...

I am from sitting on my Daddy’s lap
   From reading Goodnight Moon.

I am from growing older
   From becoming wiser...

I am from newly learned tricks
  From sisters who think they are wiser.


I am from sounding like my life is a tragedy
  From lies and honesty that will never be...

I am from living my life the way I want to
  From becoming the person the stars, constellations, and sunrises want me to be.
