I am from games and pizza
I am from cookies
I am from the believing in
I am from the big and crazy house
I am from the bluebonnets and
the acorn tree.
I am from the different neighborhood
I’m from opening presents on Christmas Eve
and going on big vacations in summer
I’m from Danielle and Mike
and Carleigh and Caitlyn
I’m from park parties and
my pool.
I come from “I love you” and
“Stop it now!”
I’m from soccer and basketball
I’m from Austin, Texas and
I’m from Mexico and America
I’m from tortillas and enchiladas
I’m from cousins.
I’m from pictures kept in the garage and
pictures on the wall
I am from my imagination and living in a different neighborhood.
