I am from Georgia

Where the hills are high and the weather extreme

From hot summers and cold winters

Never to feel a middle ground

From suits and ties to shorts and t-shirts

I hated my clothes back then

I am from road trips

So many places unseen

From early mornings and late nights

I do not need much sleep

I am from friendship beyond most

My friends were always there for me

I am from a new school

New friends and new enemies

From playing sports with said friends

And going against said enemies

I am from a new understanding

God created everything from nothing

How incredible is that

I am from television

The morning cartoons and the nighttime comedies

From beach hotels and long vacations

I miss those blissful times

I am from a new telescoe

I could see the craters on the moon

I am from video games

The fantasy worlds and unreal situations

I hoped none of it was real

From watching horror movies and awful B-movies

The world has low standards

I am from unexpected miracles

We found a cat in the road

From dark troubles and difficult times

We cannot catch a break

I am from unbearable agony

A car crash was not what we needed

From watching Family Feud in a hospital bed

My collar bone was not in one piece
