From One Story to Another

by DancingQueenYandS

This is my life.

From One Story to Another

I'm from the lights, that blast down on your face.

From those long nights covered in paint,

Falling asleep wherever you can.

I'm from His words-the Book of Mormon-that give me instruction on my path.

Where anyone will help you if you need it,

From the lessons of Sisters you love.

I'm from the pages of anything placed in my hands,

From princesses to vampires to teenage life,

Where you learn about real life, and the want to be life.

I'm from the studio, where you could stay all night dancing,

Doing the thing that you love

From "Can I get Pointe shoes," to "My knees hurt."

Stretching until your legs hurt.

I'm from my room, with the multiple personalities.

From a fuzzy blanket to Japanese dark chocolate,

To Wicked to Debussy to Good Charlotte to The Phantom of the Opera to Blink 182

To the touch of my cat, Daisy.

I'm from my best friend, Sarah

When she moved I was heartbroken

From the random emails from each other.

I'm from an island,

For six years now.

From the green and blue,

Where it's always wet.

I'm from Sundays,

Where you smell the pot roast all day,

And Jamaal is always there.

I'm from those moments-

From singing to dancing to rain

From books and books and books.
