I am from...

by Tia Alsleben

I am from the dense cities, empty fields, and lush rain forests,

from dry heat, vast oceans, and simple plains.

I am from innovative leadership, quiet submission, boisterous laughter, and loads of sarcasm.

From free-to-be thinkers and controlling dictators,

from conformists and revolutionaries, liberals and conservatives.

I am from Narnia, Naboo, and Alagëasia,

from the fantastic world of imagination, the beautiful lands of dreams, the bittersweet slap of reality.

I am from the intelligent, the over-opinionated, the determined, the irrational, and the logical.

I am from two worlds.
