Where I’m From

Where I’m From
I am from hockey
From hair products and face masks
I am from the freezing home
(Empty , dark , quiet)
I am from the maple tree , in the front yard
I’m from the songs and the silence
From Agnes and Liam
I’m from the sickness and the busy
From “be quiet” and “get to bed”
I’m from going to church , while not religious
I’m from China, Germany, and Ireland
From schnitzel , and beer
From the trips around the world
To the constant fights and apologies
I am from love and neglect.
