Where Im From
I am from fighting,
When they think were asleep
From apple empanadas with sugar
I am from footsteps
Heard at 2:00 am
(Its so hard to try not to cry)
I am from strawberries just picked and washed
I’m from the middle of nowhere
As the light hovers to find him
From a death
To a song which I wrote
With words I won’t forget
I’m from a kiss that is now a daze to remember
From Elmo and Harold who can save me
I’m from Raw, NXT, Superstars, and Smack Down
For they open my eyes
I’m from A Walk to Remember
From a heart torn out by no one special now
I’m from a do wrong
And now do it right
From smacked and kicked
As we play to rough
For I have shoeboxes
Now pictures overflow
I’d find ruined or perfectly fine
Shove them under my bed
Where my dog may be
Or stacked in a corner
Only where I can reach
Either way
They’re there for me to remember me
