Friends
When my parents told me we were moving
I felt like I would die
And so the next few weeks
I would stay up late to cry
I was comfortable and happy
And I loved all of my friends
How could this wonderful life
Come crashing to an end
This wasn't the first time
I had ever had to say goodbye
But this was the first place
In which I had come to rely
There is nothing good for me
Anywhere else that I can shine
But what did I know of life
I mean...I was only nine
But since I don't have a say
And nobody cares for my rhyme
I had to move to North Carolina
Now what do I do with my time
I don't know anybody
Nor do I care to try
I miss my old life so much
Why did I have to say goodbye
So I start to make new friends
But will any of them last
Can they really understand me
And look through all my past
A couple of them stick
Though it started out kind of rough
Who would have thought that starting over
Could ever be this tough
So middle schools a drag
And who cares if you run a mile
I have this school so much
That I can hardly fake a smile
But we become closer
And I know that this will survive
So at least I have a friend
That will stand by my side
And as my high school journey
Starts to unfold
And I don't know which way I'm going
At least I have you there to hold
So maybe this moving thing
Turned out kind of ok
I mean...I can't compare to what would have been
But maybe the chips do fall where they may
Sometime we never know
Where life may lead us
But that's where we take a leap of faith
And learn how to trust
And I'm doing pretty good
And I can say that I'm alright
Maybe moving here
Is what ignited my light
So thank you Anna
Because when I moved, you were there
And if you find this too sappy
Then that's fine, I really don't care
