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
