I AM FROM

I am from my name written in marker on the wall and even painted on the front step.

I am from the Lord's prayer every night before bed, then not even saying "God" without           "oh my" in front.

I am from waking up from a nightmare then not even wanting to wake up at all.

I am from a red wristband that turns green after a day.

I am from a town of thirteen houses- pretty much nowhere.

I am from lyrics such as "sugar, we're goin' down".

I am from typewriters and flower crowns.

I am from an almost-perfect drawing of a frog and cup.

I am from trailer trash, but technically not a trailer.

I am from the Big Dipper ice cream that holds memories like my first date.

I am from watching Disney channel- even as a teenager.

I am from an all too familiar hospital room.

I am from a whole journal of quotes that's falling off its bindings.

I am from my supporters- Dad, Jess, Mom, and all the others.
