Where I'm From poem

I am from love at first sight,

from Hakunamatata,

from voice stealing villains and the sea.

I am from bright green turtle sandboxes,

shoved into unsuspecting sisters mouthes,

and wide-eyed innocent expressions.

I am from the cold souls of airplanes,

from the sound of hellos and goodbyes.

I am from tears over a thousand mile gaps,

and from sighs breathed across the vastness of the Pacific.

I am from late night chugs of Dr. Pepper,

from heart bled songs in the darkness.

I am from flashlight held life-or-death endings

to the dark circles etched onto next morning cheeks.

Inside the door of the house in my heart

spilling with whispers of smoke filled dreams

Lies a box with a scrawl,

Lies a poem that shows you a small part of

me.
