Move Again

So much for settling in

I feel like I just can't win

I get the chance to be happy

Then something happens to make me unhappy

I was walking around with a smile on my face

Knowing I had gotten the dream I had chased

Then I was told I had to move again

Even though I was so close to all my friends

We haven't even been here a month

It isn't like I can do much

To make the land lord less psychotic

My life is just way too chaotic

I don't even know what do say

I don't want to move away

I know I will be in the same town

But that can't keep my face from a frown

I feel like I was stupid to unpack

Because now I have to repack

I don't want to move again

I don't want to go away from my friends

I was just getting close to my new normal

I just became prepared for the formal

I can't believe I'm moving again

I guess I really shouldn't complain

My mom said the next house will try to be better

I just really don't want to upset her

Because she is already sad enough right now

I want to help, but don't know how

She gets to stay home on hers and my dads special day

But she will send me and my brother away

And spend one happy day with my dad

I guess that part isn't that bad

I just really don't want to move again

I don't know how to explain

I am just thinking of this place as home

I am just starting to feel less alone

And now I get another fresh start

One in which I don't want to take part

But I don't get to have a say

We just have to move away

I have to start packing tomorrow

That's gonna fill me with such sorrow

Then I have to act like I'm okay

Because I don't know what to say

How can I explain why I'm so sad

Who knows how much space we might add

But what if I don't want to go

The happiness was just starting to show

That's why I don't want to move again

My explanation is simple and plain

But I guess what I want doesn't go very far

And that psycho doesn't really care about my heart
