Is this a good Spoken Word "Where I'm From" Poem?

I am from star shaped night lights and teddy bear pajamas

To purple princess blankeys and crawling out of my bed

I am from a deep dark cave with gorgeous light blue sky walls

I am from a small delicate rose whose petals are soft as white fluffy clouds

I am from playing hide and seek and running all around to whining all day till the sun goes down

From swinging so high on the swing set that your sneakers punch holes in the clouds

I am from pretending to be a princess and ruling the world to knowing that it isn’t that easy

I am from lying on my bed and never seeing the sun

To being careless and having some fun

I am from making mistakes and having the scraped knees to prove it

From summertime popsicles, chlorine’d hair, diving boards and sunburns.

I am from living in a different world to being stuck in my own

And those fragile plastic dolls to reading on my own

From coloring on the walls to painting on my hands

I am from the moments of life that I’ll never get back

From chocolate cups of pudding to healthy green I grow

I am from rainy days and board games, Saturday cartoons and cheerios

I am from past and present and dreams of the future

Not completely done yet but how is the rest? Can anyone suggest anything else? It has to be 2-5 min long. Anything else i should add and an ending.I was trying to explain my childhood.

Thanks

    Being me, my take would be to end it as an adult:

    I am now who I am

    A head full of worries and stress and commute madness

    A heart laden with anxieties and fears

    A soul that is mere tatters of what it once was

    I look back on what I once had

    And wonder how I ever allowed it to leave me

    Being mature does have a few advantages

    But it can never replace my favorite blankie
