Where I Am From (Original)

Where I Am From

I am from a small town,

Two bars, one gas station, one post office

I am from rhubarb dreams and dandelion greens

Young and fierce, crazy and untamed

I am from the, “Puff, Puff Give!”

Hippy generation

“Children you better be outside! Or Else!”

Oh, my old, old dear friends, all the promises we said

How we said we would always be friends,

Forever and ever, until the end

I am from memories,

Little windows into our past.

Our firsts and our lasts

What’s Lurking in your closet?

Don’t fear, Don’t fret my dear, lonely child

They won’t hurt you, I promise my dear

Those Skeletons you can’t keep them locked up forever

Face them, look deep, learn to accept and embrace;

I promise this will set them free!

Never again, shall you fret over such regret

I am ever changing, always learning,

To overcome these patterns

Oh, so very many,

It hurts my soul

Please, please don’t make me look in there

Just want to throw away the key,

Forever keeping it locked away

Locked away in my subconscious,

Only to see small glimmers of it taunting me

Like a small child enjoying the game of cat and mouse

You see, I see, we all see!

Eventually we will tell on ourselves,

Because we NEED to know,

WE NEED TO KNOW!

THE TRUTH!

IT”S what shall set us all FREE!

I am from learn from your past or be condemned to repeat it.

Please no more games of Pete and Repeat

I promise I have learned how to love now

I finally feel like I am walking on air,

Fluffy little clouds laid beneath my feet,

So happy to feel this burn in my cheeks

I am from love hurts, I know they really cared

Second chances, and real romances

Love as if there are no more changes

Never a guarantee, so set your heart free,

Love hard and Love long

Love will Set you FREE!

You See?

I am From…

I am from the ability to rearrange and change

Did you see that pattern?

Unconditional love,

Oh, how it encircles my whole being,

Embracing,

Awwe… For the first time!

Embracing your perfection, My heart might explode!

Oh my God! I never knew I could love something this much,

We just met and I can’t explain,

This Love…

This Love is burning eternal,

Bright…

Oh, yes!

This is how unconditional love feels

I never knew, thought I would never know

But…

Then I held you in my arms,

Pure Perfection,

The most beautiful Old Soul

I am from the Bright Light,

The Dark Void

I am from, “The here and the now!”

From the, “I think therefore I am!”

I am From, “The Yin and the Yang!”

From the, “New World if Love and Truth!”

I am from, “The Knowledge Tree!”

I am from, “The truth Shall Set you Free!”

So, Please! Please! Please!

Don’t Forget

You are beautiful! You are Free!

You Can Be

Don’t forget

That…

All we need is Love!

All we want is Love!

All we desire is Love!
