I am from the unique Cuban blood that runs in my genes To the russian family that I have never seen I am from the angry mother Who left bruises on the confused daughter that loved her The father that fought for the safety of his daughter I am from the joy my dog brought me To taking a piece of my heart when she left me I am from duplex houses and city lights The moving van and country nights I am from becoming a guppy learning how to swim Into a full grown barracuda dominating the pool I am from bookworms and fanfic Where I get lost in a new world and meet new people I am from scarred knees and sand in my shoes To once they say set, I¡¯m in beast mode I am from the ADHD that makes me crazy And from the friends that can stand me I am from baby fat To sick abs I am from being the Chihuahua To becoming the outcast German Shepherd I am from two personalities The caring side and untamed cries I am from loving my step-mom To disliking her when I don¡¯t get my way I am from an innocent kids mind To high school jokes over time I am from endless summer Hibiscuses And the winter hot chocolate I am from never leaving the east coast And dreaming of Paris toast I am from the embarrassing mistakes of liking several boys And learning never ever to ask one to a dance I am from a ball of energy and happiness Always shining down on the haters because haters gonna hate I am from the sorrow of losing a beloved swim coach And the happy but unrealistic thoughts of ever dating him I am from different yet wonderful Crazy and calm
I am from all the things that make me me
