I’m from Zoboomafoo mornings,

With late Scooby-Doo nights

A neon green dinosaur toy,

With a million more.

I’m from presbyterian preschool

With half days full of fun

With tag and music circles

After school nap time with my dog

I’m from livin in a green house

With blue walls

A tiled kitchen with

Pictures everywhere on the walls

I’m from Y’all and all

Ohio valley and bipolar weather

One day hot and sunny

The next is sweater weather

I'm from Family everywhere and nowhere

Lots of family but the most important

Is gone, there's a tension  in the air

No one is speaking to each other

I’m from failing grades and not passing

To honor roll and thriving with greatness

Now more than ever,

I’m proud of myself

I'm from bright lights,

With curtain calls and

Prop tables, costume changes, learning lines

Trying to never miss a scene

Trying to direct the future
