Where I Am From
I am from the green farms
From the birds flying all over the sky
I am from the noises of childern
From playing hide-and-seek
I am from dishes all over the place
I am from wonderful Baldev and Karamjeet
From respect others
From do the right thing
I am from delicious Indian food
From the smell of rice
I am from watching movies every weekend
I am from memories in my drawer
I am from people I know but they don't know me
From crying when I left India
I am from missing my grandma
From great grandpa dying and not seeing him again
I am from new people, new language, new house, and new counrty
From trying to fit in
I am from strugging to learn English
I am from a life that changed four years ago
