2. From the ocean palace on the cool breeze
I am from the shining metal of the great Empire State Building
From the ocean palace on the cool breeze
The bright and shining lights in the mist of the bayou

3. I AM FROM Cold ice cream dripping on my tongue
The irritating sound of people saying my name wrong
The glistening water as the sun sets on the horizon in Charleston

4. I am from the smell of Florida sea air
From rowdy foot
ball fans
And chasing wailing firetrucks down Dreden Avenue

5. I am from poem
I am from the purple, white-topped mountains on my way to Virginia. I am from the rush of kicking a soccer ball and having it glide off your foot. I am from soft, chewy pancakes smothered in syrup!

6. From the wind blowing through my ears, making me almost fall asleep.
I am from the ocean crashing on my feet,
From the wind blowing through my ears, making me almost fall asleep.
I am from the green tint cast over everything by a storm,
And the gritty, white sand filling the island beach

7. I am from hard beats and cool music, Flowing through my ears, Loud, like my head is on the speaker!

8. from the graceful sounds of a Disney song,
I am from the hurtful, painful explosion of people crying,
from the graceful sounds of a Disney song,
I am from the tap-tap-tap of a pencil on a desk, thinking what to write next.

9. I am from football, the pads, the leather ball, the heavy gear, From the terrible sight of UGA beating Tech. I am from the pricks and pinches I get from the Legos I try to put together, And the soft silk of my baby blanket.

10. I am from darkened rooms and haunted houses,
From the bright, glowing trees surrounding the grass-filled forests.
I am from the slight fog over the calm water,
And from Leaves falling like snow in the woods.
