New Poem for High School 

I am from the blanket which was brought across the Atlantic ocean
From the hard and soft spoken accents 
I am from the coziest place on Earth, warm and loving, with lots of noise around
I am from the redwood tree in front of the house and the hardwood floors which smell of my cries
I am from traveling to Europe and Bulgarian rose
from the deer in front of the house
From the warm hugs of my dad
and the soft light in the eyes of my mom
from my friendly and artistic sister
from the walks to the park and apple tree of my diado
from the real laughter of my lelia
I am from the honesty and doubt
From dream big and not always learn from mistakes 
I am from Christian, high in the mountain 
I am from Californian and Bulgarian, made of “being different is good”
I am hidden under the bed, wishing things could get back to normal little faster,
enjoying every moment together and not losing anything in the dark.
