Where I'm From

You said,
I should write a poem,
and tell you about my life.
"Be honest!"
you say,
as if that's what you really want.
I'll tell you where I'm from.
I'm from not wanting to fit in,
and failing to stand out.
From knowing to much
while being told too little.
I'm from despair
disappointment
heartbreak.
From loving too much
and loving too little.
From wasting time trying to be
someone I'm not.
And cherishing the time spent
being exactly who I am.
