Where I'm From

I’m not from the childhood of no guardian
               I am two more feet on earth shielded by two
I am blessed


I am not from a family that followed the wrong path
               We searched our surrounding only to find prosperity
I am lucky


I am not from a mind of vacating the situation
               I see the bright light beneath the door
I have belief


We are not from the desolate country of whizzing bullets
               I am protected by the armor I was given
I was destined


I am not living with a lock on my life
        I have the key to unlock hidden dreams
I pursue


I hear the joyful screaming of my mom during the Packer game
               We've won again
I am grateful


Born in Appleton, raised in Hartland
                I am safe
                I am sound
                I am Nick
