Where am I from?

I am from perfume,

from Midnight Fantasy and Vera Wang.

I am from buildings (tall, spacious,

cinnamon smelling apartments).

I am from flowers,

the colorful, vivid

Veraneras.

I am from the oversized Christmas trees,

and household decoration.

From Papas teasing and Mamas caring hugs.

I am from the fastidious and contradicting family.

From the girly girls;

the criticized ones.

I am from Sunday church,

from baptism

and first communion.

From the keep following your dreams

and the take risks.

I am from Colombia,

from the small city of Barranquilla.

Where generations,

past and future,

will remain.
