• I am from sunny weather
    Popsicles
    And beach trips in an over crowded van.

    I am from birthdays
    Cousin’s sleepovers
    And baby showers

    I am from gehässig step-family members
    Court dates
    And two Christmases a year.

    I am from punishments for screwing up in school
    Strict Vathers
    Male chauvinists
    And way to go to hell speeches.

    I am from gimmie gimmies
    Body shots in the gut
    Football
    Video games
    And piggy backs.

    I am from rock and roll
    Afi,a7x
    Electric solos
    Drum beats
    Dark fashion and bleeding wrist cuts to match.

    I am from growing up early
    Seeing this world differently
    Teenage pregnancies
    And staying home as a pretend mama.

    I am from morbid feelings
    Deep insecurity
    And dealing with staying me, never changing
    Despite what the world shall think.
