Life As We Know It

Different stories i've heard talk about growing up and maturity. It makes me wonder what life will be like in the future. Being in school with the same people for 12 years is going to be different not seeing them for the next 12 years after that. Truth, i'm scared. What will it be like waking up at 6 in the morning on a week day and going to work and not school? What will it be like going to your house and yelling, "Mom, Dad, " and no one will answer? The feelings I have about the future, are worse than having that sick feeling on a roller coster, waiting for the up's and down's to come.

I am From

I am from the best smile in the entire world given to me by Darios, almost 2, my brother.
He greets me, "Hieee" suddenly nothing is wrong.

I am from the loud, blue house surrounded by a few others.
The singing of my mothers voice, and the yelling of my brothers.

I am from the grass between my toes when i go to pick the apples from my front lawn tree.
I am from the smiles that hide behind my teeth and the laughter and happiness that makes up my family.
