I am from Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska.
I am from a town where Target was an hour away.
I am from the most boring in city in Nebraska.
I am from empty church pews and full school desks.
I am from the desk at the back of the classroom.
I am from childish insecurity.
I am from procrastination.
I am from books that line the Young Adult section.
I am from a bookstore.
I am from broken glass on the highway.
I am from a hospital bed and IV bags.
I am from trauma.
I am from good memories gone sour
I am from broken hearted bitterness.
I am from kindness, compassion, and caring.
I am from healing, still healing.
