I am from everywhere and nowhere!

Enjoying Vidya Sury's Collecting Smiles: Where I Am From and she inspired me to write this piece.

Where I am From

I am from everywhere and nowhere
That allows me to be very aware

I am from poverty, while learning the value of wealth
Fighting to stay in the middle not going below the belt

I am from failure and success
Both teach different lessons on how to progress

I am from Yes and No
Both can save or end my life, wherever I go

I am from bravery and cowardice
Both I fear like a throw of a dice

I am from heaven and hell
A taste of both can determine where I dwell

I am from love and hate
I learn from both before it’s too late

I am from kindness and cruelty
One is ugly, the other is a beauty
I have a choice, and kindness…
