I am from the sea
From oceans of melodies
From currents of colour that swim around me
I am from laid back summer days,
From the sun’s rays that tickle the skin…
Of the butterflies, the birds, and the bees
From the happy human’s grin
I am from the colour green
From stop, and from go
From the person that exclaims in ecstasy, “ I know, I’ve seen”
I am from inside this space
From here, and from there
From “please don’t leave” and “ I don’t care”
I am from the sad man’s song
From the person that’s always right
And from the person that’s usually wrong
I am from a billion places
From a million spaces and the thousand paces between
Yet the only place that matters is here
Because here is where I’m from…

- Title: Where I'm From
- Artist: john_the_kitty
- Description: This list poem was inspired by George Ella Lyon's poem (which, not so ironically, is also called "Where I'm From"). This (I think) accurately describes me, so enjoy :) and please tell me what you like and/or dislike about it =^__^= (P.S to grammar police.... I put "colour" purposely, I thought it gave the poem an antique-ey feel..... ^_^)
