"Where I am From," by Hailey E.

I am from quiet rooms turned into stages,

From singing softly when no one is around.

I am from headphones and favorite songs,

From replaying lyrics that never get old.

I am from humming in the shower,

From Echoes bouncing off the walls.

I am from writing songs in my head

From Melodies that never leave

I am from late night music

from Singing When the world is asleep 

I am from nervous first notes

And confidence going with every song

I am from dreams of microphones 

from lights shining on a stage

I am from car rides filled with music

From singing louder when my favorite song comes on

I am from lyrics that feel like stories

From voices that inspire me

I am from practicing over and over

From trying to hit the perfect note

I am from quiet Beginnings

From Big Dreams that grow louder everyday

I am from songs that match my mood

From music that understands me 

I am from performing in my room

Imagining a crowd- cheering back

I am from deep breaths before singing

From butterflies turning into excitement

I am from Passion and determination

From never giving up on the music

I am from where my voice started

And where it will take me next

I am from Dreams of becoming a singer

From believing my voice matters

I am from music

And music is from me
