Where I'm From
I am from the shadows.
Which is why my soul is as dark as the night.
I am from a family of God but I myself am an immoral sinner.
I am from a place that always stays the same, but every day feels different.
I'm from blood-dripping razor blades and music that is so loud that it makes your ears bleed when it's on the lowest volume.
I'm from a place where pain and suffering feel like nothing which is why I don't feel anything at all.
I am from a typical, middle-class, American family but the blood of a poor, broken Hispanic one runs through my veins.
I'm from the memories that will always find a way back to haunt me.
I'm from a home that is full of love but the feelings of loneliness and insecurity hide in the sanctuary that is my room.
I am from a place of complete terror and pain even though I put myself there.
I'm from "You can do anything as long as you set your mind to it." even though I never know where my mind is.
I'm from a lot of places.
Those are the places where you will never want to be.
