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!
