PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I am from camping trips

And late night shows,

Swimming in pools,

Or spraying a hose.



I am from popcorn kernels

And watching movies.

From “Final Destination”

To the “Goonies”



I am from living with mom,

Staying with grandma,

And occasional visits with dad.



I am from friends who are there.

I am from a boyfriend who cares.



I am from six cats and a dog,

A dad who left,

And a sister who walked.



I am from child support

And custody battles;

Court dates and visitations.



I am from Christina leaving

After so many long years

To live with our father

Who has never cared.



I am from occasional bickering,

Fighting, and making up.



I am from a three bedroom house,

So lonely with just me and mom.



I am from a fear of clowns,

A love for art, and a free imagination.



I am from month long road trips

With grandma and grandpa.

From the horns in New York

To the strips in Las Vegas.



Love, laughter, joy, and hope;

This is where I am from.
