I am from...
I am from the biggest house in the neighborhood
The constant screaming of kids
The chorus of clanging tools
The concrete cracking across the road.
I am from the house with the giant windows
The house still echoes from the giggles and laughs from me and my brothers playing
The dents in the walls a daily reminder of games and fights
Some days you can almost still hear the bickering.
I am from the house with the best father weekend breakfasts
Every surface sparkling from my mom’s daily cleaning
Brothers bickering at every possible moment
My dog licking the scraps off the floor.
I am from the house where you can feel safe and comfy
Where there's always something going on
Where you can let out a sigh of relief at the end of the day
But most importantly home is where the homies are.
I am from home.
