Lila

I am from music. Classical, hip-hop, jazz, pop, R+B, and soul.

I am from baseball. From my glove and my bat. From the boys league and kind coaches. I am from my karate blackbelt on the right side of my top shelf.

I am from my family. From my mom's soft voice aand my dad's gentle arms. From my brother's corny jokes and loud familiar laugh.

I am from all the people who support me every day, and the bullies who make me me stronger.

I am from dumb jokes , silly dances and goofy faces. From all the goofballs in the world.

I am from a unique person. I am from me.
