I am from... (Poem)

[Phantom_Girl]

So my choir teacher introduced me to this type of poem, so I decided to write one of my own. Enjoy.
**********************

I am from days spend alone in my room,
Playing fairy princess, doll hairdresser, or vet.

I am from whispering to myself, creating my own world and living in it, because it's better than the world we have now.

I am from getting what I wanted for Christmas
And getting bored of it within five minutes.

I am from not being able to afford gifts, having to make do with what I already have.

I am from two parents who always had enough money, and who could afford nice things for me.

I am from parents who lost it all, who are worried and stressed over money and such.

I am from nights spent wishing I was older, pretending to be a stereotypical teenager.

I am from nights spend crying in my room, wishing I could be a kid again.

I am from the corner of the room, where I spent most of my time, watching as everyone else had fun.

I am from the center of the dance floor, being cheered on by the people who once ignored me.

I am from the quiet nights in my room, crying myself to sleep over dreams that won't come true.

I am from the community theatre who accepted me, slowly but surely, making my way to achieving my goals.

I am from backstage, watching the show from the wings.

I am from the stage, where I can feel loved, wanted, needed, like I belong.

I am from rejected hugs, and rejected "hi's" from people who were "cooler than me"

I am from many hugs and many "hi's" from the people I truly call "friend."

I am from the cast list, always seeing my name next to "ensemble".

I am from childhood dreams, only to be crushed by bitter reality.

I am from everything. Every event, every little tiny occurrence, made me who I am today. And I am grateful.

I really like this style!
Maybe I'll try to do one someday.

I've done this type of style before, and it was so fun, although mine was really boring because each line had to be a certain topic like family or stuff about my town...
But this was great Really great poem
