I am From
I am from cramped car rides,
five hours long to our cabin
I am from riding my mom’s short school bus,
to and from school teased about it
I am from Shinedown,
Played throughout the house
I am from living the same day everyday,
hoping the rut will change
I am from not possessing the confident enough to be myself,
so I acted like the other girls around me
I am from trying to be emo
and realizing that is not who I am
I am from deciding to be Amber,
not the basic girl my dad wants me to be
I am from dying my lion mane red,
and making it crispy and frizzy
I am from tight, black skinny jeans,
that were too loose around my waist
I am from learning math skills
that I will most likely never use
I am from having no idea what I want to do with my,
and running out of time
I am from my life,
and waiting patiently for my future
