Where I Am From

Where I Am From

I am from two loving parents

My mother image, my father’s athletic skill

I come from many places

Sometimes confusing

98.6 degrees and chilled to the bone

I come from chaos

From the askew sun bursting brilliant sunlight from my chest

Singing raindrops, talking birds, and renewed life

All preambles before the destruction

Left by the twisting of the passing tornado swiftly through the night

I come from normalcy

From the stillness that embraces the silence

Love absorbed from the ones around me

Bitterness from the sin of my flaws

Bleeding wounds inflicted from the past

Today I come from darkness

That comes and goes like a devil dressed in black

It takes pleasure in its emotional rape and slowly cutting my heart from my chest

I come from miss fired neurons and slowly decaying flesh

From loneliness

Where I come from tomorrow, I do not know

I do know I come from hope and faith

I come from goodness and compassion

From the Lord above

I ask him and everyone to forgive me if I have ever wronged you

I come from silliness and sarcasm

From beauty and ugliness

I come from fear and courage

From truth and lies

Ecstasy and desolation

I come from a family embodied in gold

From a circle of shielding arms sheltering me

Blessed
