I Am From

May

Narrative
I am from
An old house
To new days
From all the friends
Who've parted ways
I am from
The cuts bruises and scars
From being sad, happy, and playing too hard
I am from late nights
up with friends
And almost fights
With angry grins
I am from
Landscapes painted
And pictures drawn
Staying up
Until the paint is gone
I am from
The books I've read
Fantasy, romance, and sad stories
Where the favorites end up dead
I am from
Everyone
And everything
I have ever been with
Touched or seen
