And in the music we find ourself

I am a façade of confidence and calm but behind that
I am from a small town community traveling the world
I am from Waldorf schools with fairies and the bowl to the high school  with our technology realities and drunk athletes
I am from a school family, a choir family, and a home
I am from paint splatters,torn pages,and off key songs
I am from Swedish costumes to soccer jerseys, confirmation to eco fairs
I am from running in the rain to loving victorian dresses
I am from half a coffee table and a 40 year old Christmas tree 
I am from spying adventures and teaching Latin
I am from having a slice of each pie
I am from 12:34 11:11 and 
Star light Star Bright 
I am from acting in musicals  yet not knowing myself 
But I really do know 
Where I'm from
