I Am From Poem Rough Draft

I'm from family.

From sacrifice to ensure survival,

From the family gatherings:

4th of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

I'm from traditions of the family grace.

I'm from football

From the blood sweat and tears of the line.

From the glory of a win

To the pain of a loss.

I'm from the United States

From the freedom

That so many wars have been held over

And I'm from the millions

Of soldiers that died to protect

The freedom that we know and love.

Most of all I'm from experience

From betrayal, loyalty, love

From pain, anger, and sadness.

All of these things make me, me

Without them I wouldn't be

The person that you know now.

All of these things are what I'm from

I don't care what you think

How dumb you think it is

But I can't change the things I'm from.
