Where I'm From 
by Kimberly Holmes
9th grade

I am from music,
from iPods and amps.
I am from the beats exploding from my headphones,
loud, rhythmic, and consistent.
I am from the lyrics in my songs,
which are filled with meaning
in every word.

I am from the footsteps of a dancer, 
from ballet to hip hop.
I'm from leotards to baggy shirts
to sweat pants to jazz shoes.
 I'm also from dance studios
with choreographers and directors
who I love so much!

I'm from my family and friends,
I love you guys, too!
When I'm with you,
I howl with laughter!

I am from the airplanes in the sky.
I really enjoy traveling
to Japan and to Paris.

I am from my heart, 
filled with love and spreading it to the people
all around me.

And, I am from my mother,
who I look up to 
and adore!
