I Am From

I am from a house full of kids and vacations with family reunions at my relatives' farm,
I am from the smells of fruits and flowers and the smell of wet earth, and mischief without intent to harm.
I am from a time to make-believe to be an actress or a beautiful model full of charm
I am from a childhood surrounded by perfume,
memories, happiness, and also gloom.
My best friends and best members of my family were always a pen and paper to jot down my fantasy.
I am from busy parents who had put me in a Catholic school with nuns who were always talking about heaven and generosity
but in fact, they were wicked and they were always trying to prune my curiosity
by punishing me for asking and doubting about the Bible story
and once again the pen and the paper were both my glory.
The paper and the pen never disappoint me and never leave me alone
They were always with me and they have never gone.
I am from Polish blood and Brazilian heart,
I am made from pieces and made from parts.
I have no labels, I am a learner, I'm right and wrong
I am longing to live forever and supposed to last a season,
like all the human beings who are not for so long.
So, I will be happy with or without reason.
From "I dare you" as my cousin used to say
"No one can dare me", I will answer, it is my way.
I am from a childhood full of dreams, full of mess
I was a tomboy and also a princess
I was an actress holding a Pepsi
I am full of failure and success
I was everything I was longing to be
A child can do anything with imagination
I am grew up, I am a human being, I am just like me
with pen and paper to give me the same sensation?
