Where I'm From
I’m from the clacking of my illuminated keyboard
and the clicking of my matte black mouse.
To a bright monitor glistening in my face…
I’m from lures splashing on the surface of the water
to my bail screaming.
And splashing from the fish.
From the roaring racecar engines
and the stirred up clouds of dirt.
I’m from the blast of air as the racers rapidly speed by.
I’m from the sweet smell of fresh air from down south
sounds of rattlesnakes
to scorpions crawling in our house…
From the time I cut my knee open
to howling out of agony.
From the mindless decisions that I made.
I’m from searching for that number one spot
and fighting till the end
From wanting to see 1 next to my name…
I’m from wanting to be liked
From making a friend.
To a bright monitor. Glistening in my face...
