Where I’m From

I am from cat fur drifting around and broken toys next to my bed

I am from Cup Noodles and Annie’s Mac n’ Cheese

I am from the smell of steak and salmon being cooked in the kitchen

I am from France and New York

I am from drinking apple cider

I am from bunk beds, small tables, and messy cabinets

I am from sunflowers and roses.

I am from traveling to our cousins every holiday

I am from, “Go play piano!” and “Cook rice!”

I am from hoodies and sneakers

I am from colorful plushies and pillows

I am from Ruby and Aidan

I am from playing with stuffies and leaving all my toys on the ground

I am from Panda and Melon
