I am from the fields of green
by Sherwin Shibu
I am from the fields of green
and the shouting of the coach.
From the fighting and chasing
to the scoring and celebrating
I am from the massive skyscrapers
to the warming wooden houses
from the scorching desert to the
pine trees covered in the snow.
I am from sarcastic books about a wimpy kid,
the pages that always puts smile on my face.
I’m from the table of spoons and forks
surrounded by walls of white that never seems to end.
I am from hugs and love.
a family that never gives up on me.
to friends that never stop supporting me
and the teachers that made me who I am
I am from talking to myself,
And making philosophies of my own, that doesn't even make sense.
From “money doesn't grow on trees” to “you need to grow up."
