Where I'm From

I'm from fluffy couches and soft blankets
Open doors and fresh air
The smell of the ocean
The sound of the news with dinner cooking in the back

I'm from bike rides and sour grass with my sister
Baseball fields and big brothers
I'm from full days and sleepy nights
From where family is the most important thing

I'm from sadness and loss
The feeling of wanting things to change, and knowing I can't change it
I'm from sickness and saying goodbye to my dad
I'm from tears

I'm from love and strength
Finding myself through impossible times
I am from the belief that you must keep living, day by day
