My Lifelines
I come from a big family
Being together is a lifeline for us
Family dinners
Movie night
Stories engraved in every wall
I come from noise
Laughter that crawls to every corner of the house
Playful screeches of younger siblings
As their imaginations wander into endless possibilities
I come from countless birthday parties
Ski trips, sports games
Each one I attend leaves me smiling
Changing the way that I act and the way I love
I come from the beaches
New jersey
Outer banks
Costa Rica
Their sand carries washed up memories
Memories I may one day forget
But memories that will never leave me
My family is my lifeline
Though they do not define me
They have shaped me into who I am today
Whatever I will pursue in life
They will always be with me
Because they are where I come from
And they are who I always will go home to

For English, I had to write a poem about where I am from. However, I do not know a lot about my ancestors. So I did not write about my family history, but the family that has influenced and shaped me through my life. They are where I come from.
