Where I'm From
I am from
Mountain views
Windex
And Mosquito Spray
From
Big balconies
Dusty
Loud
Home
From
Grassy hills
Olive trees
Standing in the blazing sun
From
Eating roasted watermelon seeds
On the porch
I am from
Loud talkers
Trying to speak in hushed tones
From Ayman
From Fadwa
From Amti Yasmin.
I am from
Lip biting
Arched brows
From
We are more blessed than others
Have you seen the news lately
I am from
Fasting the month of Ramadan
From
Sun up to sun down
From
Understanding how the poor do on a daily basis
I am from
Ramallah
Al Bireh
From
Hummus
From
Grape leaves stuffed with rice
From
Multiple mini marts my father worked in
To give his five children the best future possible
From
Time my mother took to get better at her english
To help my siblings and I
With our school work.
From
Family that strive to reach their goals
I am not from
No
I am
Falesteen
