Where I’m from

I come from a big black coat with an owl on the back.

I come from white lipped snails and baby frogs.

I come from the grape leaves I stole and stuffed with rice. 

And I come from the shell from Jeremy dead body.

From the pink rose on a grave. 

I come from the lost dog that I loved

And her friend who misses us at home. 

I come from the word sorry.

I come from girls who only eat kale and say their fine

I come from awkward phone calls with people my mother and father hate.

I hide gum so that I won’t finish it too quickly.

I cry when someone one asks me how I’m doing 

And I’m always sad at 1 am 

The truth is always what you make it. It’s not what happened, but what you remember.
