I’m From…
by Gabriella Aviles

I am from palm tree’s
and pink cherry blossoms

from coconut milk.

I am the place where the water greets the sand with a hug
and then flows back to where it came from.
It’s as beautiful as a fresh new daisy.

I am from the hawaiian hibiscus
and the fresh dandelions.
I go with the flow and try to be kind to others.
I’m from the christian beliefs family
and places I call home, with
Ronnica and Angel,
and also Anny and Hector.
I’m from the Pretty Little Liars
and Supernanny show.

From “If you’re lucky enough to be different, don’t ever change”
and “There’s always an end to a journey,
but it’s the journey that matters in the end”
I’m from pray to God for future hope.
I believe in christ and the lord.
I’m from portuguese sausage.
Born and raised from “Aloha”.

From the trips to and from my mom and dad’s.
The disapointment on their faces.

I am from a lying soul who’s ready to change her ways.
