I am from a small country,
Where they deal with less but appreciate more,
It must be a different chemistry,
I am from Central America,
Before I was born I was from the Middle East,
Then the two met and ta-da,
I seemed to have joined the feast,
I am the last of three,
Because of the things that I would see,
I am free of the mistakes of the ignorant world,
I find the beauty in everything,
I am just a girl,
Who dreams like a Martin Luther King,
I am from living blindly and walking through faith,
Living kindly, patience because it will be worth the wait,
I am from strength and independence, in my mom you will find the resemblance,
Creativity and passion I get it from my dad’s descendants,
I am from one of those little fierce women,
Ask her how she does it, she’ll tell you the power of Amen,
I am from a dad so cliche,
“Did I tell you I love you today” he would say everyday,
I am from hard work no hand outs,
No shortcuts you must take the hard routes,
I am from loving coffee and croissants,
The heart wants what it wants,
My first best friend was a dog,
I am from loving animals,
I am from caring over living things,
It’s morals and fundamentals,
I am from the smell of fresh flan,
A very delicate dish,
“Easy now when you flip over the pan”,
I am from always having a sweet tooth,
Baby me even ate a fruit flavor chapstick,
Can’t explain the furry slug I ate in my youth,
But I’ll tell you this I caught a fever it made me sick,
I am from once being very impulsive,
But now I am more causative,
Because I come from all of this,
It sounds so beautiful,
That’s because I only kept the things that give my soul a kiss,
Now that I can choose what I am from,
I ask myself what I’d like my future to be,
So I can find in life the things I want for me,
