I'm From...

 I’m from the snow-capped Bavarian Alps

A still-standing house 500 years old

The original family name

The worn-down cobblestone streets of Germany

I’m from late nights out on “the town”, if you can call it that

Every street explored

Every stone turned

All 12 of them

I’m from going full speed down country roads every summer night

Riding motorcycles and 4-wheelers when I should be asleep

Getting up early in the morning, driving across the entire county

Finding the top speed of everything we shouldn’t

I’m from driving alone at night

Dark skies, setting suns, fresh air

Music full volume, the bass blasting

Clearing my head every night

I’m from the Rocky Mountains

Every time I go, I leave a bit of myself behind

One day I’ll return to collect it all and stay for good

Loud exhausts tearing through the valley

I’m from family, friends, and more.

Vacations across the country

Vacations out of the country

Going out of town, shopping, or just to drive

Concerts on the weekend

Working wherever and whenever possible

I’m from a lot.

But that’s what makes me who I am

I’m a bit too much

A bit too little

In the end

I’m from everything life throws at me, and that it gives back

I’m from a slice of everything, all of the time. Whether it be locking myself inside, or going out for days at a time. Staying at home with family and friends, or going on a vacation to who knows where. 

I’m from…
