• I’m from the home where
    Money can’t buy happiness.
    From iniquitous brothers
    To criticism from many.

    Days from cigarettes
    Taking my grandfather.
    To seeing the dead
    Furless cat with Nathan.
    (It was awesome to poke).

    To the odor of the rich
    Tomato sauce made every Sunday.
    All the way to my music
    Relieving me at desperate moments.

    Composing stories being one of my lives
    Posted on the internet for others to read.
    To Pokémon and Zelda games
    Playing until my eyes hurt.
    To reading any book within a day or two.

    I’m from the home where
    Tears are as common as food.
    I’m from the home where I
    Get a packed lunch with jasmine tea daily.

    From going to the States and
    Being surprised at how big everything is.
    (And I mean big).
    To walking into Hot Topic and
    Actually wanting to shop for clothes.

    Where I’m from has moments
    Of many desolate times
    But there are blissful times.
    Yet sometimes they’re
    Worth living for.
