Where I am From

I am from a land of trees.

Though I was born in the city,

and lived and have lived there for years,

that is not where I am from.

My home, more accurately, my house,

is in a town in a city at a train.

My home, the one I'm proud of,

is in a forest, that's where I'm from.

I'm not from Patrick Lydon, or from Florida,

I am from Province Road, despite it being so remote.

It's a camp I've gone to since I was nine,

it's where I'm at home, that's where I'm from

When I'm in my apartment, I feel homesick.

And for this fact i do feel sick

It's like insulting my parents' work

but I can't feel too guilty; it's where I feel I'm from.
