I am From Secrets and Lies

From music to books

I am from a small broken home

 

From Oak Trees

To Maple

I am from Family Meals every year

To

Screaming tears everyday

I am From Woody Beach, Marti Propes

and Alex Barkley

I am from Promises and Forgiveness

 

From the I love you’s to the

You’re always gonna be perfect

I am from Heaven and Hell

 

From Woodland Park

home of the

Smart and the brave

 

From the Fight my grandfather fought

in World War II

To the fight my father

is fighting now

 

From the moments everyone talks,

learns a new to all

The secrets and lies we have all told

 

I  am from every

Hello and Goodbye
