I am from the cracks growing up brown walls and the thirst that cries from yellow grass.

I am from old cars that don’t work and clubhouses with wasps nests that sing all night.

I am from screams on the porch at midnight after family parties downtown.

I am from a home where avocado trees and cousins make a good game of hide-n-seek.

I am from a home where America meets Mexico in the eyes of the first dreamers.

I am from a home where broken glass cuts deep and makes a stained window.

I am from a family that doesn’t talk until we scream.

I am from a family that is trying to catch up with how many mouths we have to feed.

I am from a family that basks in sunlight and drowns in rain.

I am from a place where the roaring waves and the sun clean and fill, give and take.

I am from a place where everything means something and nothing means anything.

I am from a place where people grow faster than leaves but slower than trees.

I am from my mother and my father and my sisters and my brother.

I am from trying to make the world a better place, because if we don’t, who will?

I am from the dreamers, from the workers, from the artists and the scribes.

And I am from love and hope, and the first time seeing fireflies.
