I am From

*Inspired by Where I'm From

I am from 

birds singing in

the morning & the sun being

the spotlight. 

I am from

a backyard so big that

as a kid, I could get 

away in it.

I am from

my family expanding 

little brother & little sister;

my siblings & then

MowMow & Nala

my two black cats;

all of the above came 

around at just the right time.

I am from

learning on screens &

missing my friends,

to making milestones that

the “me I used to be”

could never imagine.

I am from 

cats meowing,

keeping me company &

on my toes (literally)

all while trying to figure out 

what kind of human or

none-cat I am.

I am from

thinking I never would, 

to God showing me

not only would I, but 

I always could.
