Where I'm From

I am from activities,

And jumping around

I am from the happy thoughts of my relatives

And rock climbing

I am from skateboarding

And the different thoughtful interactions

I am from the bright sun of going outdoors

The feeling of climbing trees

From warmth of the outdoors

And the falling leaves of autumn

I am from bad life experiences

I am from bad life choices

And the consequences that follow

The feeling of regret and getting in trouble.

I am from the good experiences

And I am from people I meet

The examples they give

And lessons learned from them

This is where I’m from.
