Where I'm from Poem

I am from cow pastures

and elementary school bus walks filled with scary, violent dogs.

From the 80's and inception of gaming

and from the wilderness I used to despise.

I am from the war on marriage

and the dissolution of love.

I am from the southern state,

from the “Bible Belt” of sodom.

I am from Christians exclaiming they know the truth

and Jews whom are less overbearing than their Christian brethren.

I am from a truth that a book does not rule my life,

and that books are the key to freedom from ignorance of deities.

I am from blizzards in the 90's,

to the oppressively humid heat of Georgia.

I am from perseverance with constant failure

and from underachieving.

Yet I have achieved things that less than 1% have done,

or will ever do, ever.

I am from game-nerds, baseball bats,

and outdoor wild people.

I am from the need to be a nice guy,

even if that leads to the inevitable failure.

I am from forever friend zones and solitude.

Where no one can break the bubble.

I am from music never play int he early years,
but created personally later.
From concert venues and late night shows,
to large festivals where you meet the world.

I am from stone-will, but fluid as water.

I was here, but am not now

and I am invisible, but not for much longer.
