I am from a place of family, step after step becomes another memory.

I am from a family that is there like a brace

and will support me through any brick wall.

I am from a land where tough times occuring as often as the sun sets

where certain people make threats.

Anything that can and will happen becomes a reality.

I am from a place with lazy roads filled with angry cars

next to the pristine lakes and packed bars,

trails, forests, and shops surrounding the area.

I am from a place of sunshine and laughter.

Where you feel like flying a kite as high as the moon.

I am from a place that makes me want to listen to the bee’s buzz

or the birds chirping at every moment,

or watch the tree’s feathers flock in the wind.

I derive from a place of silent nights and filled highways.

Staying up admiring the creatures of the dark

When I awake, I reminisce the times I spent with my older brother.

The memories of driving in the brisk afternoon air, listening to our favorite country songs.
