I am from a broken home.
from divorces and custody battles.
I am from house to house.
I am from the young couples.


after the miscarriage

I am from the new parents and the hassle of rent
from Jamie and Roger
I am from the beast taking over much of our lives
grasping the lung
and death.

from Laughter






and family
I am from rowdy but infrequent family get togethers
form long departures
and not knowing

I am from secrets that are never shared
I’m from sadness that's louder than words
and when the shouting is loud


my cries are muffled


I am from two great parents

that were better off without each other

I am from unbreakable bonds

I am from great cooking
and her looks






from a strong women

I am from my mom

an odd mix of both noses

I am from a hard worker
and his eyes





who needs a drink to cope

but doesn’t like to admit it
never before work
I am from my dad
