You did let me go you left me broken and heartless, crying out for help, with no one to answer my calls-Shilpa Pierpont-Hale ( poem) Love hurts


I am from the many
places I have been
from India where
I was adopted
to Vermont with a
American family
I am from
the many summers
I've spent in
Cape cod
I am from swimming
In the salt water
To eating Fish and chips
All day
I am from
Listening to the Beatles
Because they help
My mom forget
about her Alzheimer's
I am from my
Two wonderful moms
Who I wouldn't trade
For the world
I am from being different
from being teased
From trying to
Hold my head high
I am from being judged
I am from heartbreaks
I am from Having
One brother
who stands taller then me
I am from
“ Don't cry because its over ,
Smile because it happend”
I am from wanting
to be like
my older cousin Sarah
I am from a family
Who taught me
how to love
one another
I am from
celebrating dawali
and I am from
almost dying when
I was born
I am from
having a big heart
and helping others
I am from laughter
I am from tears'
I am from lost ones
I am from writing poems
because they help me
I am from
listening to my iPod
because it soothes me
when I feel like
my whole world
is falling apart
I am from falling down
and getting back up
I am from forgetting
my third birthday
I am from
laying awake
and thinking
about the day
I am from
getting the gift
of life
I am from
