I'm from rolling hills and cow manure.

I'm from snow piles to snowmen, snow balls to frost bite.

I'm from green grass and brown dirt.

I'm from 5 bodies of water, from small towns to snow plows.

I'm from small schools, small children, and small common sense.

I'm from dirty streets and not always something to eat, homeless people roaming the city streets.

I'm from playgrounds and football games, hollers and hoots.

I'm from small town Michigan, from family dinners and harsh cold winters.

I'm from small town Michigan, and I wear frostbite with pride.

I’m from the crib of nations, a world of speculations. The peace-time in war-time, the sight in the blind of the mind time.

I’m from the work hard and get dirty, the high-risk, high-reward opportunity. The helping hand in a time of need, the soul not lost in greed.

I’m from the skillet with bacon and beef, the pantry with the cake of relief. The building block of flour to the sweetening patch of sour.

I’m from the family gathering, the fun we’re having. The making of memories between friends and families. The glow of a candle in darkness, the sweetness in a person’s heartiness.

I really enjoyed your poem, you had lots of great descriptive words and had a certain pattern to your poem. My favorite sentence or line would be "The helping hand in a time of need, the soul not lost in greed." You must be a really generous person.

Nathaniel Weeldreyer MMS

I really liked your poem. It held a lot of nice descriptive words and I felt it really describes you, even though I don't know you. I like the sentence "The glow of the candle in the darkness," It had nice ring to it and really was very cool.

Where I Am From
By: Will Duin
I’m from a little college town in the south known for rolling trees at night and Alabama rivalries.
I’m from a childhood of spending time with friends and doing stupid stuff like throwing rocks at each other and playing dodge ball with base ball’s.
I’m from a tall family that towers over all of our friends except for my grandma who’s only “5’4” while I am the youngest in my family and I’m “6’1”.
I’m from spending every Easter and Christmas at my grandparents and going to my cousin’s lake house every 4th of July and we go play soccer and shoot roman candles at each other. So this is my life and if you don’t like that is your problem not mine.

I’m from playing Game boys, and

I’m from going down hills and getting bruises
Always in the streets
Hanging out with friends

I’m From
I’m from the suburbs next to the city,
Where there buses, skyscrapers, and the Reds

I’m from the neighborhood of exploring, and airsoft

I’m from the cozy home with video games, and Star Wars
The comfort of watching the game with family and friends, and the joy of the outside

I’m from the cold winters, and hot summers
The field with the plate and bases
From the happy, sad, love, and hate
From the waking up early on Sundays, and getting dressy

Ashlyn H MMS

I come from the snow covered ground and icy streets.
I come from watching cartoons,
Phineas and Ferb, Adventure time, Gravity Falls
From reading Curious George and Peter Rabbit.
To the hours of playing Pokemon trying to beat the elite four.

I come from the long hours of Playing Violin,
from the many, many chores I do,
to the toys I throw for my dog and playing with Friends
I come from skiing down winter hills
and drinking hot cocoa with extra whip cream.

I come from the color changing leaves in Autumn
to the leaf piles you jump into
I come from the Red Wings game and the snow days
From the rain to the sleet to the hail to the snow.
I come from the snowball fights that i play every year.

I come from the Taiwanese food I eat, and the restaurant that my dad owns
I come from a house of music and some classic that I refuse to listen too
Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi and many more...
From the time on the computer, reading manga and watching the episodes I missed
To the bands I dance to when I’m alone
Twenty-one Pilots, FOB, P!ATD, Imagine Dragons

Elley P AJHS

I really liked that instead of saying that you were from playing outside, you said that you were from "making snowmen, playing in the rain ,and catching bugs." I think that it was a great choice to say what you did outside as opposed to just saying that you played outside.

I am from bright blue skies and dark green grass. When droplets of water drips from the grass that was created in the cool, dark, morning.

I am from Freezing winter days. That have snow lay softly every where and sparkly’s from the second the sun rises. With icicles hanging from the shutters of every house. Only to have winter melt into spring and spring fly into summer.

I am from waiting in the woods, for the perfect deer to come just for me to shoot. And getting to make food with the delicious deer.

I am from two pigtails with bright colored bows in them.
An Ice cream in my hand and most of the ice cream on my face, shirt, and hands. With barely any in my mouth.

I am from books in my hand that takes me many hours to read. With play practice every night, while still getting my homework done just before I go to sleep

I am from being the shortest one in the class. Having 6th graders taller then me. When I’m still being mistaken for a 5th grader. But still loving being this short.

I am from a place where Sunday mornings come early, where family time is spent at church.
I am from a place where Muppets, Barbies, and playing on the playset speak to me.
I am from a place of riding bikes, longboards, and scooters rather than walking.
I am from a family that loves me unconditionally.
I am from nighttime prayers and A strong relationship with God.
I am shaped by what has occurred in my life.
I am shaped from my beloved dog Sarge, who I miss more than anything, who has taught me to love people unconditionally and keep on fighting when times get rough.
I am from endless laughs, and enlarged smiles.
I am from caring about others and encouragement.
I am from a place where laughs hurt so bad I can't breath and cries hurt so bad I miss being me.
I am from a sister who has encouraged me from day one, to be true to who I am, and to believe in myself and others around me.
I am from a mom who is a very faithful woman, stands up for what she believes in, and has taught me so much I wish I could just be half the person she is.
I am from a dad who gives me laughter constantly, who can cheer me up in a second, and teaches me about my Lord.
I am from Christmas countdowns, and watching Christmas Vacation as a family.
I am from cheery Spring mornings, and what seem to be endless winters.
I am from feet of snow, playing in snow pants.
I am from playing scary old grandma in the basement, The Brooke and Kelsey list, and spending time with friends.
I am from a place where can’t is not an answer.
I am from a place where I get encouraged, and loved unconditionally
I am from playing with Play Doh, and silly dance parties.
I am from backgrounds of Swedish and German.
I am a Christian.
I am a friend.
I am laughter.
I am a daughter.
I am a sister.
I am a granddaughter.
I am Brooke Nicole Hinz.

I am from a city where farms and skyscrapers,
Only a mile apart.

I am from the mitten state,
and where the population isn't off the charts.

I am from where you and your friends are free,
So you play star wars and hide and go seek.

I am from lakes,
or big hills that you climb to the peak.

I am from 4th of July with a boom
With Colorful colors flying

And when it's time to come in from swimming
I am from where when this happens, you start crying.

I am from happiness defined
and lots of peace.

I am from Kalamazoo Michigan,
this town is a puzzle with every piece.

Where I’m From

I come from the land of the hand the land of cities and car factories the land of large cities. not the land of long grassy plains or the likes of some animals. I come from the land of winters giving me 20 degrees or less from the land of snow capped trees the land of snow days with 3 feet of snow.

I come from the land of instead of in winter flying a kite I am shoveling snow the land of 4 seasons not an eternal summer. I come from the land of dense forests with large evergreen trees and piles of leaves red leaves brown leaves and yellow. the land of office buildings and whitewashed tile floors and all of the likes of an office building.

I’m from the land of peninsulas and and lakes superior and michigan and from the land of people singing stupid songs when I am trying to focus I am not from the land of ranches and where 3 generations all live under the same roof.

In conclusion I am from the land of many things and not from the land of many more!

I’m from happy family get togethers, sparklers and fireworks on the Fourth of July, and movie nights during Christmas break.

I’m from frosty snow days, big cups of hot cocoa and warm winter jackets and skiing, even on the coldest days of the year.

I’m from long family vacations, far away from home, with waterfalls and oceans accompanied by colorful sunsets burning in the sky.

I’m from shopping malls and skinny jeans, straight hair and comfy sweaters in the cold winter days.

I’m from a world of laughter, even in the hardest of days.

I'm from a place where Starbucks is life,cooking entertains me, and surfing calms me.

I'm from a place where I jump in the snow, ski all day, and drink warm cocoa after long cold days.

I'm from a place where chocolate is important, Maddie Ziegler’s my favorite, and Gun Lake is visited.

I'm from a place where I hang with fun friends, play scary old grandma and explore in the woods.

I'm from a place where I hunt with my dad, longboard in the sun, and laugh till my stomach hurts.

Where I’m From Poem

I’m from a glowing green forest,
filled with dazzling light,
and crystal-clear streams flowing by,
the chattering of animals,
permeating the silence of the trees.

I’m from four-foot deep snows,
shoveling the neighbors’ drives
to make a little money,
sledding down our hill
in the night with my family,
with Snow Days! always on my mind.

I was born into a crazy
and rambunctious family,
but what can I say?
I love them all.
They are loving and caring,
and take no heed of themselves.

I am shaped by my
Catholic beliefs
raised and born
in the Church of millions,
created by Jesus himself.

I’m from the era of
Drake and Josh,
Spongebob Squarepants,
Scooby Doo,
Tom and Jerry,
and the Magic School Bus.

I'm from a 14 foot, Sea Nymph boat,
fishing with my dad,
catching a green,
slippery,
scale-covered,
teeth-baring,
pike.

I'm from sitting in the sun,
relaxing by the lake,
diving in and splashing around
in the 80 degree heat.

I'm shaped by my education,
and all the experience I've had
through the years,
striving to succeed
in my life
and going to church
on the Sunday nights.

I'm from the years of playing
Legos,
ping pong,
Pokemon,
hot wheels
and Nerf guns battles
that stretched for hours a day.

I’m from celebrating
Christmas every year,
with red and green lights,
candy canes,
artificial trees,
huge family gatherings,
opening presents by the fire,
enjoying a feast and
making memories
to last a lifetime.

I am from a world of family and fun,
mischief and trouble,
responsibility and hard work.
I imagine.
I hope.
I dream.
I believe.

I'm from a place where family is important,
I'm from a place where brothers and sisters get along,

I'm from a place where cars go by,
I'm from a place where in a blink of an eye can change everything,

I'm from a place where friends choices matter,
I'm from a place where friendship is key,

I'm from a place...

I’m From Home
I’m from wooden swing sets spent hours on, hiding under the counter pretending to be a spy, and sleeping in my parents’ bedroom all of the time.

I’m from telling my newborn brother that I was going to be his sister and love him forever, never sleeping in fear of missing out on something, and playing on Menard’s swing sets while my parents were shopping.

I’m from exploring the white shores of Destin, experiencing brain freeze in Nashville, and meeting a very cheery mouse in Orlando.

I’m from never putting down Nintendo Dsi’s, having deep conversations with imaginary friends, and wading in Lake Michigan with my family.

I’m from Junie B. Jones, Magic Tree House, Judy Moody, and begging Daddy to read one more Disney story book.

I’m from jamming to the Dixie Chicks with Mama, memorizing Taylor Swift lyrics, and spitting into my harmonica to do what I call “freestyle”.

I’m from Spongebob Squarepants, Fairly Odd Parents, iCarly, Pocahontas, Finding Nemo, and of course, The Wizard of Oz.

I’m from staying up all night to hear the precious sound of reindeer’s hooves on the rooftop, lying under the Christmas tree spying on everyone, and shaking Mama and Daddy awake to open presents.

I’m from pulling on snow pants to throw myself into the tall banks of snow, building snowmen with my family, and Daddy and I jumping a snow ramp on the snowmobile.

I’m from big to little, good times and bad times, crowded and alone, sunshine and snowstorms, but most importantly,
I’m
From
Home.

playing enless amounts of hide-and-go-seek

endless times of watching Monsters Inc.,
endless snowdays of watching Drake and Josh

I’m from staying up late every single week night
at dance and gymnastics,
going to enless dance competitions
till you can no longer stay awake

I’m from family vacations in North Dakota
and being locked inside from the blizzards,
watching movies and drinking hot chocolate all day
because it’s -64 degrees fahrenheit outside in the cold storm

I’m from a family who absolutely loves pets,
From dogs to cats,
we always rescue our animals
because they’re in need of a loving
and caring family to take good car of them

I’m from four wheeler rides in the fall, summer, and spring,
and snowmobile rides in the winter,
doing almost all water sports in the summer
at our lake cabin such as

and many more

I’m from a family full of adventure, and adventure is what we shall always bring in the years to come

I’m from dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, ducks. From Mufasa, Bear, Kiki, Cali, Sunny, Mr. Louie, Safari, Pumpkin, Della, Thumper, Alfie, Sugar, Bae, Rosie, Posie, Juliet, Blossom, Lucian, Ducky, to Pip.

I’m from Rue 21, Old Navy, Kohl's, PINK, long sweaters, leggings, scarves, UGGS, and Combat boots.

I’m from a family of Christians, teachers, goodnight kisses, evening TV, homework help, family stories, and game nights.

I am from spending my days watching horses in the fields, grooming horses at the barn, and playing with Gypsy and Woody.

I am from playing with my friends; pretending to be horses and wolves, and playing doctor with my friends.

I am from chasing my cats around outside to having a guinea pig play date with my friend.

I am from being the weird horse girl who can just watch horses for hours and not get bored.

I am from going on vacations to Arizona, New Jersey, Montana, Colorado, Canada, Florida, and Tennessee.

I am from spending a week in the summer watching horse shows all day in the hot sun rather than with my friends.

I am from Michigan.
I am me.

I am from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Dora the Explorer, The Land Before Time, and Disney Princesses
I am from playing pretend, coloring, and dreaming as big as the stars
I am from swimming in pools, blowing bubbles, hula-hooping until your hips fall off, and where sidewalk chalk is a way of life
I am from “What’s the magic word?”, “Remember the golden rule!” and “Do the hokey pokey and turn yourself around!”
I am from maize ands blue, wolverines all the way, hail to the victors, and screaming fight songs at 3:30 football games
I am from Christmases under the bows, ride-or-die kind of halloweens, and thanksgiving filled with family and friends
I am from Instagram, snapchat, vine, and twitter
I am from so much more than this but especially I am from my crazy family of my two big brothers Ben and Daniel, amazing older sister Maria, and two loving parents who I couldn’t live without.

I’m from playing tag with friends,
climbing onto trees,
rolling down hills,
and playing Harry Potter, or maybe superheroes.

I’m from summer popsicles and winter cocoa,
dandelion fields and blankets of snow,
dirty, old sandals to shiny, black boots.

I’m from basking under trees, picking berries all day,
dozing, relaxing, watching the sunlight race away.

I’m from tall grass ticks to thornbushes galore,
bumps, scrapes, bloody knees and more.

I’m from chocolate chip cookies, ice cream and cakes,
from Reese’s, Kit Kat to Hershey’s and Twix.

I’m from nice, quiet Thanksgivings to big, loud Christmases,
and hot, sunny easters with fresh, green grass.

I am from a childhood swinging on the swingset, to acting like we're indians in the woods.

I have moved to a much larger town. With many more trees in my yard but still a small town called mattawan.

The wins and losses, the happy and sad.
With my sister who is always making me mad.

I’m from the weekend hunts, the hits the misses.
I’m from the lectures from my dad because u didn’t listen.

I’m from the family that leaves and the family that stays.

I’m from a small town in Alabama, with an importants of family, food, and tradition. Of hot weather, tailgating, and fall football.
I’m from a young generation of all day Netflix, chi tea latte’s, and chick-fil-a. Of shopping and running out of time.
I’m from a family of being late, running crazy, and getting up at 6:00 AM for the excitement of Christmas. Of singing high school musical and random movie nights. Of funny mistakes and memorable moments.
I’m from a life of swimming. Of trying to stay alive during practice and the pool being my second home. Of smelling like chlorine to spending all of my money on swimming suits.
I’m from a childhood of old maid, cops and robbers, and webkins. Of Lion King, Aristacats, and Aladdin. Of kickball games, capture the flag, and cousins as friends. Of great times and no worries.

I am from Florence, Underwood,
Purple and the best teachers ever
I am from a group of four best friends and sleepovers,
Prank calling at midnight and big birthday parties

I am from Auburn, Football,
Tailgating and rolling. I am from
the South where sweet tea is common.
Family reunions every year.

I am from country cooking, cousins,
riding golf-carts and bi polar weather.
I am from the drop off game, trampoline water fights,
hide and seek in the dark, and building forts.

I am from a new generation filled with frappes from Starbucks,
Netflix, and Ugg boots. I watch Gossip Girl with my leggings
and big sweatshirts on. I am from family, friends, and traditions.

Katie AJHS

I am from the beginning, where cousins were best friends
I am from freeze tag on broken trampolines in the starlight
And dancing to the American Graffiti album
I am from “Power up!” with Power Rangers
And singing along with the Wiggles until our throats were sore

I am from rolling trees and yelling at the TV
I am from sour lemonade and black coffee
Burnt orange and deep navy face paint
I am from old records rather than wifi
And messy minivans stuffed with people

I am from surprise beach trips and Tennessee mountaintops
I am from Get up! Point your toes! And bleeding hands
And catching lightning bugs on warm nights
I am from phone calls and Saint Patrick’s Day
Fold your hands and pray like you’re talking to a your friend

I am from a family of soldiers and moms and grandparents
I am from clover crowns and humidity every day
New life, death, moving, and staying
I am from long goodbyes and frizzy curls and blue eyed girls
Planting your roots in the beautiful Deep South

I am from the cold
The snowdays, the snowballs, the snowfalls
A hot chocolate on a cold winter's morning
A fresh snowflake falling on my outstretched tongue

I'm from a childhood of exploring the woods
With twigs sticking to my clothes
And spider webs covering my face
I'm from a childhood of jedi and spaceships
From "gotta catch them all"
From arc reactors and webshooters

I'm from the gameboy, the gamecube, the wii
From blowing in dusty cartridges and wiping scratched disks
I'm from the violin
From hours in a room playing one song
From concerts with many people watching

I'm from a place where all can be free
Where flags are waved high people are filled with glee
I'm from a place that shines as a beacon of light
For everyone to see.

I’m from rolling hair to rolling trees,
From popsicles on a sunny day.
I’m from a college town,
Tailgating all the way.
I’m from hedgehogs and dogs,
to an insane family of 4.
Where payback is always necessary.
I’m from a family of pranks,
If you fall asleep early, you might wake up with a snake.
I’m from horror movies and gore,
To lake houses and smores
Bonfires, trampolines, and more.
I’m from strait As and star gaze,
I’m a country girl galore.

I’m from cherries and grapes and chocolate cream pies,
Hazel and lime green and syrup-brown eyes.
Auburn and Prattville, a clever disguise,
Bo staffs and nunchucks, hands, feet, and scythes.

I’m from tee shirts and glasses and tickle fights, too;
Daycare and snack time and trying on shoes.
Aces and Jacks, Castles and Fools,
Dodger and Romeo, eating good food.

I’m from Prattville and Gilbert, Auburn and home,
Fireplaces, fireworks and rotary phones.
Fry Tax and Milk Tax and Almond Joy loan,
Cleaning up pennies ‘til the copper coins shone.

I’m from colorful paints and gooses and meese,
Climbing up stairs and scraping my knees.
Drawing and pencils, climbing and trees,
But mostly I think that I am from me.

I’m from warm summers and warm winters. Near a city next rolling blue oceans and sailing boats on the sun setting horizon. A large town with a highway or 2 with to many routes from one place to another. A world with white sandy beaches and large palms and exotic bushes and shrubs some pokey and large while others small and vibrantly colored.
I’m from the detective shows Castle and Pysch. The movies Mission Impossible, Star wars, and Batman. Games with excitement and thrill.
I’m from new expeditions into Everest, traveling to a near future filled with aliens and spaceships to mars.
I’m from an adventure with Harry potter and another into the world of Jurassic park. A world also filled with the Simpsons and Men in black.
I’m from a close family filled with smarts and creativity. I’m from a blank sheet of paper with a pencil and pen in hand. An assortment of colors from the whitest white to a vibrant array of colors to the darkest of black. I’m from the creativity of my family and loyal friends but mostly I am from the creativity of myself.

Where my mom was born.
Where I spent 6 years of my life.
Where I was stuck in elevator 2 times.

I’m from divided country.
Where there can be a war at any time or at any seconds.
Where you are required to go to military.
Where you are in risk or war.

I’m from where soccer is big sport.
Where I grew up playing soccer with my friends.

From Ewe words and sunlight
From spices and rices and soups and meats
From loving it all and having to leave

I’m from college towns and football
From crazy friends and know-it-all’s
From zebra crossings and shopping malls
Brown ice cream, lions, and holes in the wall

I’m from gazebos, picnic tables, and balconies
From libraries, parks, and climbing trees
Pure happiness, daredevils, and just feeling free
Like nothing ever could hold me down

I’m from Winnie the Pooh and Barbies
Cartoon Network, Nick, and the old Disney
To rock bands and indie, skinny jeans and beanies
Guitars, drumsticks, and “ukelailees”

I’m from tight knit family
Friends who’ll never leave
From “Jesus is Lord,” “Praise God,” “I believe”
Never thinking too much, never wanting to be
Just something. Only everything. Only nothing but me.

Kristen AJHS

Auburn, full of traditions, we roll the tree when Auburn wins
College town, pretty packed and loud, South and Sweet Tea.
Weather is amazing, bright and sunny, makes you feel good.

Food makes you full but you want to eat more, it is mostly healthy
Toomer's Lemonade has amazing lemonade,
Drink on a hot day to cool you off while watching a football game

People are thoughtful but full of loudness
Alabama fans are loud and snotty people
The Toomers Tree gets rolled everytime that we win a game

100 Year Oak Tree poisoned and killed (Alabama Fan)
Crazy Saturdays and boring Sundays
Clean up the tailgate and wait till the next football game
Amazing football and a small but wonderful town.

And from old traditions like Toomers.
I’m from tailgating all day
And the Kick Six.

I’m from the cold mornings in the tree stand
And from checking in late to school because I was hunting.
I’m from fishing trips with my grandpa
And travel baseball tournaments in the summer.

I’m from my grandpa’s farm
Where we have four wheeler races,
Where we shoot skeet
And Christmas morning deer hunts.

I'm from a childhood of hours of throwing a football and swinging a bat.
I'm from a family of 3 with my brother and mom.

Where I am From
I am from cold winters and ice skating
From the big bright yellow sunflowers
I am from the tall buildings and busy streets
I am from walking to the grocery and frozen yogurt shop
I am from never less than your best

From glitter makeup, buns, and ballet shoes
From hitting to kicking towards the goal
I am from red and blue
Where 1 and ½ matter
I am from “you told me this now, Why?” going both ways

I am from no siblings
I am from practicing till you get it right
I am from behind the scenes
I am from your basic white girl
From blonde hair and blue eyes

I am from not home in the summer
I am from “that’s my best friend” and “my feelings”
From riding till you get bucked off and getting back on and going again
I am from knock offs to on brand
I am from always spending time with the adults

I am from hiking to the cross
I am from scary stories around the camp fire
From the University of The South
I am from “no pressure”
I am from go forward with your new life as you look back with fond memories

I’m from two different languages-English and Chinese
I’m from watering flowers for my 90 year old neighbor
I’m from playing the piano-8 years of patience
I’m from finishing homework before playing outside

I’m from airplanes and traveling the world
I’m from waking up really early and falling asleep really late
I’m from visiting landmarks and mmm, this is great
I’m from how do you pronounce this word

I’m from road trips and enjoying the view
I’m from hand sanitizer every time I want a snack
I’m from stopping at welcome centers just to get a map
I’m from reading road atlases and street maps and subway routes

I’m from taxis and subways and buses and trains
I’m from meeting new friends and eating at restaurants every night

From smelling the fresh cut grass and dirt
From hitting homeruns and diving for balls
From the grass stain on my jersey and the dirt in my hair

I am from mizuno sports
From wearing their cleats on the weekend
From changing into their shorts after the game to wearing their shoes everyday
From wearing their tennis shoes everyday

I am from a basketball court
From the squeaking of the shoes
From the boom of the ball hitting the court
From swish of the ball going through the net

I am from Saturday football
From waking up at 8 o’clock to watch game day
From going to the Tigers game at night
From tailgating during the day eating bar b q and drinking sweet tea

Where I’m from poem
I’m from quiet and fighting kids, from be home before the street lights come on, from don’t play in your church clothes, I’m from sneaking to hear the grownups talk, from switches and cords, I’m from the bad boys with the nice clothes.
From climbing the trees with the Easter dress on, I’m from the girls who always play any game with the boys, from favorite color to be blue; I’m from drinking Clorox eating pills and getting my stomach pumped on my fifth birthday, from duck duck goose, ring around the rosy, hide n seek, and mommy.
I’m from old people pinching my cheeks, from cook outs and yard cleans, I’m from missing my cousins and friends, from saying ouch while getting my hair done, I’m from home cooked food, from listening to rap, blues, and step music.
From laughing at the gone but never forgotten family members, I’m from the ghetto kids with the funny moms, from a long long line of crazy people

Where I am From Poem
By: Joshua Wurtz
I am from the house in the shade when it comes to summer,
from the all-the-time arguing with my brother,
from the go outside all the time,
and always obey your mother.
I am from the homemade chicken on every Friday,
from the always say ma’am and sir,
from the always phrase, “it’s okay,”
to the watching snakes lurk.
I am from get off the tv,
from turn off the lights,
from the don’t touch the bees,
to watching the stars in the night.
I am from the “ I can’t wait to get out,”
from the picnics in the pasture,
from burying my dog,
to all the funny laughter.
I am from the land of the free,
from the home of the brave,
from amazing grace,
I am from the U.S.A.

I’m from rednecks and Jesus followers.
From sweet tea and fried deer meat, 260’s and BB guns.
I’m from Southern class and dirt on my blue jeans,
From being a mermaid and swimming in my crazy dreams.
I’m from discipline and doing the right thing
From saying prayers at the dinner table and on Sunday mornings just waiting to sing.
I’m from getting in trouble for really dumb stuff
I guess just being me, you can ever get enough.
I’m from being insecure and shy,
There are just some things that can make me cry.
I’m from smiling and laughing everyday,
Sometimes in life you don’t need to let small things bother you, so just say okay.

I'm from late night Wednesdays and early Morning Saturdays. When Aurora and I make up routines, Brenda, Kiki, and Kelsey are the fiercest 10 year olds you can find. Theres always Trinity, Sanai, and Aliyah keeping me up to date, and I can never forget Tygi who is like a twin brother. Where Justin is my brother bear and Mrs. Latifa is my mama bae.

I’m from “don’t judge other’s appearance, religion or way of life”, “everyone is different in their own way”, and “just be yourself”.
I’m from waking up early, hating school, but loving education.
I’m from lightskinned problems to short girl problems.
I’m from converses, and vans, to uggs, and combat boots.

I am from home, the valleys beside the mountain, the quiet streets and grazing stars.
I am from the delicate snow when it decides to show, the roaring fire bringing warmth in the cold, and the graceful lapping lakes when the world comes anew.
I am from winding spring bike trails and starry family walks.
I am from the art of exploring the heated woods with friends to the art of throwing snow at my brother and cowering inside.
I am from home, where the hearts seem to be.

I am from the north of the traffic and the rock n roll cave
To the south of the lemonade and the War Eagle
And every four years of snow while drinking hot chocolate during the coldest of all winters

I am from breathing in the cold air
To exhaling the salty air with the hottest of all days
With the brightest of days

I am from getting a new house
To mating my best friend
From the scariest fo all days with trick or treats
To the biggest of all stomachs with the happiest of all families
Near the holiest of all days

I am from playing skylanders
To playing call of duty, destiny
From playing Pokémon
To playing yu gi oh

I am from shyest kid in the school
To the confidences of all young men
And the proudest of all gamers

I’m from small towns, when you get bit by a mosquito and go cry to your mother.
I’m from when you had to get your hair combed and if you moved you get popped. I’m from when you use to get with your friends at night to play nick knock. I’m from giving my parents silent treatment if I did not get my way. I’m from Sharon P and Chermain H. I’m from 3 sisters and 2 brothers. I am from a pet to no pet. I am from being spoiled by my daddy.
I am from many places in the south. I am from pork chops, fettuccine with extra cheese. I am from funnel cakes , fried pickles, and French fries.
I am from strawberry cheesecakes, toaster strudels, and fudge brownies. I’m from listening to 90s old school music like Swv, Jade, Aaliyah, and T L c. I’m from running around the house rapping like I was left eye when I was home alone with the music bumping. I am from dancing to every 90s old school music.
