I'M FROM...


I'm from hearing my parents story of crossing the
border from Mexico to the U.S. because it's so interesting
hearing it over and over
I'm from "should i let my hair up or loose" but always
ending up with my hair in a ponytail
I'm from trying to kick the hard rounded ball to the
goalie
and screaming gooaalll!!! until i lose my breath
for the 1st time...
I'm from parents trying to work, and then realizing that
we always
fail them
DOWN
Sometimes I'm even from play fighting with my sister
and punching
her until i think she ends up with a purple bruise, and
then realizing i'm the one ending up hurt
From believing what the Aztecs did for a living
And the to somehow ending up to where Mexico had
finished a war victoriously with Spain
I'm also from having the nicest twin in the world
and believing she would be something really important
in my life
From those moments I see and hear my dad put a CD
and blast the speakers
I'm from those moments my sister is sad and I try to
make her
happy even if it means to act dumb in front of her or
hurt myself but as long as I hear my sister chukle
I'm OK with it
To my mom reading her bible in our room to
having the small hands of my dad to the emotions of my mom
But... back to the attitudeof my dad
I'm from hugging teddy bears until they burst from my happiness when
I was small until now that I'm 13
I'm from considering myself original and not
being on style
I thank God I'm from those 2 people that show that
they love me and
knowing that I have a life to live for
I'm from dreaming that one of these days when I grow up
I'll be on a stage
in front of a million people
I'm from an important part of the tree my parents hold
for us...
THE END =)
