Where I'm From
I am from laughter and giggling--
chuckling at doltish puns, chortling at foolish mishaps, and cackling at embarrassing moments.
Tears streaming, my smile widening...
I am from grueling -2? winters--
where the grand ol’ badger state blows bitter winds uncompared.
Shivering, frozen...
I’m from not only physical maturation, but mental refinement--
coercing limits in Thai Boxing and conquering school studies.
Sturdy physique, intuitive intellect...
I’m from video game all-nighters and visionary illustrations--
playing Halo: Combat Evolved with the best of buds, sketching works of dreamful fantasy.
An imaginative mind, a competitive tenacity…
I’m from an impossibility conveying a demanding possibility--
where skeptics, mindful doubts, and contemplations merely define excuses.
Craving success, unnerved by challenge…
I’m from life lessons to be recognized for generations--
where, “Pain is temporary, and pride is forever,” and “Change is a ubiquitous, ongoing force. ”
Malleable, galvanized…
I’m from a medical prescription of gaiety--
where, “A smile a day keeps the stress away.”
A distressed childhood, yet ecstatic future.
