Where I’m From

I am from the stars,
that twinkle as we dance beneath them,
I am from the summer breeze,
and swimming in the blackness of the night sky.

I am from the paint brushes and pigtails,
I am from the lonely evening walks, and sunsets.
I am from the ocean.
salty hair,

and sandy toes.
I’m from the nutella nights,
party lights,
and fuzzy pijama pants.
I am from your rough hands,
entwined with mine.

but mostly,
i am sculpted an molded and shaped,
by the people i surround myself with everyday.
