Where I’m From…
by Anon
I’m from dirty Motels/Hotels in my young years
Behind sketchy convenient stores
I’m from the smell of smoke
From leftover fireworks or gunshots
After many years it was hard to tell the difference
I’m from maturing at a young age
From doing adult tasks by the age of 9
I’m from seeing countless men come and go
To meet my birth mom from morning to night
I’m from a childhood that was stripped away
From raising and feeding my sister
At the age of 13 that was put to a stop
I’m from adoption at the age of 14
From gaining a childhood years later
To vacationing for the first time
I’m from being the first to graduate High School
To failing four College Degrees
I’m from an adopted parent telling me what to study
To not being able to accomplish her dream
I’m from living for others
To never living for myself
I’m from 8 years with a mis-diagnosed bipolar disorder
From medication here and medication there
I’m from meeting a caring psychiatrist four years prior
To getting diagnosed with Borderline Personality
To both A.D.D and O.C.D with meds that impacted in a positive light
I’m from starting back up in school
To pursuing a degree in acting
I’m from writing my first film script
To getting it made into a short film a few months later
I’m from gaining a Talent Agent a year later
To getting casted in a feature film
I’m from exploring the world of theatre
To getting a job as an improv actor
I’m from getting casted in a short romance film
To taking over and producing it myself
I’m from moving away from a toxic environment
To ten years with a manipulative adoptive parent
I’m from an apartment of my own
From waking up to the beam of the sun through the window
To the scent of freshly brewed coffee
I’m from picking up Guitar as a hobby
To learning two songs with the help of YouTube
I’m from a very tough time growing up
To being content with what I have now
This is me
