I Am From My Family

 

I am from a freakishly weird family

Love and hate

 

I am from basketball hoops,

Chicken bones, lemon tree,

Flowers and grape tree from my back yard

 

I am from big house, buildings,

Uncle’s worn out red truck, shopping center.

 

I am from “Shut up” and “Leave me alone”.

 

I am from annoying sister,

Adorable cousins,

Grandma V.’s birthday presents.

 

I am from old drawings

Of what I used to be

memory books,

tragic days of loss and pain.

I am from loving family that gives all it can for a

Better outcome in the future.
