Spoken word
Moving is like losing an arm. When I start packing I just want to cry and unpack my stuff and stay. When I am on the road I look out the window and see that my house is far far away. When I walk up to my new house I just feel like I don't belong at the house. I want to go back home. When I unpack my stuff and rearrange my room I am like man I have to get used to this. When I go to b d I don't feel like I am safe like I used to be. When I wake up in the morning and get ready for school I am afraid nobody will like me. When my mom drops me off at the school I tell her oh no mom I can't do this. My momma tells me oh ally bug you will be fine. When I walk into the school I feel like everyone is staring at me and I feel like I have a spot light on me. When I get into class I ask the teacher where I sit, and this girl heard me and she said oh girl you can sit by me and you will have fun. When class is over and I am walking the halls all these kids come running up to me asking if they can hang with me. When my mom picks me up and she asks how Ur day was and I say man it was great. When I am in my room I say "friendship is like standing on wet seemed the longer you stay the harder it is to leave, and you you can never go without leaving your footprints behind." I tell my family this “do you ever just feel like you are missing something in life." When you get to that oh it is time to say your goodbyes and you feel like you just got close to them. Well that time when you just sit there and think about all them memories you have and you have to make new ones. It is hard to make new memories because you don't want to repeat the old ones with new people. Do you ever get that feeling when you want to tell your secrets but you are scared to tell your new friends because you are afraid they will laugh or make fun of your they will tell someone. I sit there and ask my new friends “do you just feel like you don't belong because you are new and afraid no one will like you. You get told that oh don't worry about that you will make new ones in a heartbeat. When you are at home and you friend texts you from you old place you just think man I really do miss you so much and you can't see them till summer. When your new friends come over and you are laughing and enjoying yourself you are like man I am getting use to this. When you sit there and tell your new friends your secrets and they have the same ones an you are like omg you are awesome. When the school year ends you are like man this was not bad after all. When summer comes and your parents say pack your bags and u just sit tree and think omg where r we going. When you are getting close to Ur old house and you are like omg and she comes out and u run to each other and cry. Then you have to leave again to go back home and you don't want to go back. When you just sit there and think about asking your parents if you can stay with your best friend for the school year so you don’t have to go home and they say will see. That time when you are just sitting there and going through your pictures on Facebook and through your phone of you and your friends before you move, you are just like man I want to go back to that time when we took those. The time when you just want to cry and don’t know if you should or not because you don’t want anyone to ask you what is wrong with you. The time where you just sit there and think of all the good times you have had before you moved, and all the times you got in trouble for doing stupid things with your friends. The time where you just sit there thinking because you can’t sleep and you think about what if I didn’t move things wouldn’t be the same and you wouldn’t have to say your goodbyes to all of your friends. The time when you see your family and you cry when you see them because it has been a long time sense you seen them. When your birthday comes along and you are used to all of you friends coming but they can’t come and you don’t feel the same but at the same time you are having a good time. The time where I just sit there and think oh is my dad going to send me something for Christmas or Easter... and you are just waiting a nothing comes and you feel like you are the bad guy. When Christmas comes and you are sitting there opening the gifts you got without your family you just feel like something is missing and you just get up and go to your room crying. You tell your parents oh mom and dad I want to go home where I know I am safe and I will be with my friends. They say oh hunny you are home now our old house someone already lives there so you can’t live there unless they move.
