Where I'm From

I am from Buckeyes,
from a big city and no beaches.
I am from bi-polar weather,
from the knee-high by July motto.

I'm from hands-on work,
from hairy faces.
I am from cornbread and soup beans,
while also from pizza and fast food.
From the center of my state and the mid-west of my country.

I am from random camping trips and tropical vacations
From hand-built homesteads and the right to bare arms.
Driving BMW on beach trips and canyon roads.
I am from patriots who never leave the country.
I am from the place where maize and blue are hated,
the longest rival in the game.
From Heisman winners and jail birds.

From ending one adventure to starting another.
From traveling to war,
making my own decisions to being critized.
From an honorable title to inmoral situations.

I am from stuck-up people and common folk,
from understanding to complicated.
hard working laborers and business owners.
I am from a family that's one of a kind.
