I'm From

I'm from a place that is pure on the outside,
But damned on the inside.

I'm from a place that looks like gold,
But is really just rusted metal.

I'm from a place where children grow up too fast.
Where a child can be 8 going on 21.

I'm from a place where nothing made sense,
And probably never will.

"I'm from" has no effect
On where I am going.
