Where I'm From

I’m from small suburban

Home-cooked meals and

Loyal dogs always there

To welcome me

                      home.

I’m from science and art

From early divorce and true love

From weekends camping during deer season

And summers at the archery range

I’m from nose-in-a-book late nights

And parents who took me to

Every midnight Harry Potter release

I’m from green walls and full hearts

From be practical but always

Follow your dreams talk

From you can do anything

And be anyone, I believe in you

I’m from support and
Hard work, from working

Three jobs while in school

Just to prove I have it in me

I’m from reading about

Revolts and riots and passion

I’m from a million different worlds

That taught me -- I can change the world too.
