Reflection

11/8/2020

 
A. Hernandez, 9th - Oakland, CA
I am from the paintings that cover my home
The soft acrylic layering over a canvas
From the swans that hover over me and the tiger who protects me 
The flowers that wrap around the doorway
And the bunny blanket where I knew I was safe
It was soft to the touch- like a real bunny 
I am from the princess lamp in my living room 
that reflects a shadow of my childhood
I am from a candle lit room 
With aromas of wild flower
Smells like I’m outside, even when we have to stay inside
I am from the strawberry wrapped candies we see all around the house 
They’re so sweet to the taste 
Where do they all come from? Comes to mind
I am from a diverse neighborhood 
We’re so different, yet so connected
Where the corner store brings us together 
A memorized playlist we all hear over a radio 
Even during the roughest times
I am from the nostalgia of a better time
