The Best of Me

Where I am From

Hey all you! This is a poem about me and it is an English assignment at school, so I decided to put up on here because, hey, why not? So here's where I'm from . Enjoy!

I am from light

Shining in the distance

As it grows brighter, and brighter

And brighter

whispering "Good morning"

I am from words

Loving, soft, romancing, sweet

Sarcastic, rude, mean, hurtful

Meaningful in every way

capturing hearts of faithfulness and despair

I am from beauty

Kindness, patience, gentleness

From a creation of a beautiful world

From hope and dreaming

both day and sleeping

I am from breathtaking colors

Vibrant in a sunset

Pastel in an afternoon

I am from a wide sky

And a deep ocean

the first to jump in

I am from harmonies and melodies

From bright shining keys

As I breathe the figure to life

With sound dancing away

emotion overcoming

I am from a library of hundreds of books

From words swirling off the page

Painting pictures in my imagination

As I watch the characters from a distance

wondering what I would do if I were in their place

I am from distant lands and close places

From fresh baked pastries in the snow

To catching lizards in the desert

From lightning storms in the heat

And dancing joyfully in the falling rain

kissing my face

I am from many travels and moves

Never staying in one spot for too long

Never settling in a comfortable place

But seeing sights as a result

Both beautiful and heartbreaking

etched into my memories

I am from a selfless father

Whose scar travels down his arm

His tattoos scare the boys away

But he is gentle-hearted and calm

as I cry into his embrace

I am from forgiveness

And becoming free because of it

I am from liberty

And being free because of it

And I am from freedom

As I love to be free
