I Am From Poem
I am from a shoe
From Nike and Adidas
I am from the Philippines, dirty, beautiful, and full of joy
I am from a rose, bright red pink
I’m from expensive and strictness
From Precy and Sally
I’m from the small town and trapped
From Santa and Tooth-fairy
I’m from the sweaty basketball court
I’m from Saudi Arabia, hot and cold
From the deep dark trees of my home
The white hairs on my dad’s hair
The warmth of Vancouver
From a handful of memories.
