I am from…

 Pastries and smoothies on Sunday morning from the farmers market

when I and my mom go to the stones town farmers market 

And looking at apples and chocolate when there is nothing else in the fridge

The smell of pizza waffs into the kitchen every Friday night 

On every Halloween, I look for 3 musketeers 

And my candy always lasts to winter 

Every Tuesday I await my favorite dinner PASTA!

When I see lemon anything I go crazy in love 

But when I see… 

Broccoli, zucchini, mashed potatoes, squash, scrambled eggs, beans, or  avocado

I either cringe, hide, or run away

I sway when I taste mango sorbet with whip cream  

At my grandma’s house over the summer

I am from… 

Waking up late rushing to get breakfast

 and my mom screaming at me to stop reading before I make her late 

When I get home from school I… guess what 

READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On Christmas, Grama Joan comes over 

And I wake up super early and wake up my sister 

and try to wake up my parents but they always say one more hour

On New years we are up skiing in Tahoe 

Or down back home watching the ball drop in N.Y.

I am from… 

Glen park on a quiet hill

Living on 50 Conrad street 

Different colorful houses staring back at me from my window

Never ever having to share a bedroom with my sister again

Seeing the sunrise  in the morning 

Next door neighbors moving in 

Having lots of privacy 

Slamming my door in my sister’s face 

Screaming in my sister’s ear to wake her up

And laughing at her when she falls down

(You should know what I mean if you have a sibling)

I am from…

Getting a scholarship to Harvard because I watched Gilmore Girls

Wanting to become the first trillion air because there’s nothing like a good challenge

Desiring  five cats because they’re adorable 

Needing 3 turtles because of climate change

Getting better at typing because the quicker the better

(Time is money if you know what I mean)

Living through soccer games and practices each for 4 hours and 30 minutes a week

Then sitting in my bed for an hour

Fighting to stop climate change 

Longing to read Keeper of the Lost Cities at least 5 more times

And living through the Coronavirus

This Is What I’m From
