Where Im From

I am from tall mountains,
whose peaks are white and cold in
the winter and hot and dry in the summer.
I'm from the windy cities,the dry
air and hot soil.
I am from the San Andreas fault line,
the earthquakes everyone dreads.
I am from the fast life and slow
respect for one another.
I'm from a respected highway,
which everyone knows about and loves.
I'm from the boring days and
the filled nights.
Where people try and live their life.
I am from the smell of wet earth,
and dry dirt.
I am from the yes ma'am,
and no sur's.
I am from my Grandmothers death,
talking to her in the backyard.
From the baseball field i played on,
to the bed i layed my head on at night.
I'm from the big county and the
packed freeways and streets.
