I Am From

By Sarim Chaudry


I am from a language that never gets used
I am from food I doubt you have ever eaten
I am from my parents complaining about people calling it chai tea,
chai means tea, you’re pretty much just saying tea tea
I am from eating everything mango flavored  
I am from a place that's just grouped together with india,
personally I don't see the difference,
but don't get my parents started on it,
only the slow creeping fatigue will stop their wrath 

I was going to write one about procrastination but I will just do it later 
I am from a family of doctors
I am from too many missed opportunities 
I am from doing the minimum on projects 
I am from indecisiveness 
I am from christmas happening in summer, but still being in America 
I am from “that's a good deal, but let's wait until there is an even better deal” 

I am from my parents telling me that back in their day
they had to outrun 3 cheetahs just to get to school
I am from never getting it right the first time

I am from never ending questions, wait does that make me smart or dumb?
