Cousins, Closets and Carrot Juice

I am from a haunted house in Brooklyn,
with a scary basement and a old attic.
I am from a house that is too quiet.
I am from a childhood where my cousins were always laughing at me,
because they lived with me.
But iI would go to this huge closet...
and I mean huge with nothing, but clothes, shower curtains and bed sheets.
I think of it as a cave, where I could be alone.
The comes growing up in a place... where the fridge has nothing, but carrot juice, oj, milk and eggs.
This place is so huge though, that you could keep a elephant there,
sadly though I have a bird (name after Yoda from Star Wars), don't get me wrong, I love him, but an elephant would be fantastic!!!
I live in a place where you could only watch TV, and sometimes video games.
This place is made of stone that's brown, called a Brownstone.
This place is where I'm from and where I was raised.
This place is in Cobble Hill, I Brooklyn.
This place is where I am from.
