Where I am From

I am from a Mexican heritage.

I am from a huge family where I am just the odd one out.

I am from patched Eastside drive that was my home for so long.

From the warm tamales and the "ponche" made on Christmas eve.

I am from the "Si Dios quiere"

I am from the Christian faith, the Sunday's spent at church.

I am from a family who never stops trying to be better.

I am from here, but I am from there.

I am from Long Beach, California and Colima, Colima.

I am from a seahorse necklace and a ruby ring long lost who knows where.

I am from Adriana and Epifanio.

From scars on my two knees earned by being disobedient.

I am from God.
