i am

I am
from Michigan
from snow, hockey, common sense,
and getting up every morning to run to the gas station.

I am
from traveling
to Mexico, Alabama, and now Georgia
from the loss of friends, and growing depressed.

I am
from the promise of friendship and care
to rejection, hate, and self-loathing.

I am
from 'be yourself' and 'never give up',
to warding off friends for being a free thinker.

I am
from a loving, trustworthy sister
to a unique, curious daughter.

I am
from Rory Culkin, parties, and boys
from angered, inspired, to uncontrollable joy.

I am from Michigan.
I am unique.
Deal.
