i didn't want to be here
i didn't have a choice
i'm used to moving
but i miss england

i actually
had
friends there

i'm not very good
at making friends

we live in Perth now

they call the community
   the
Blue
Neighbourhood

it's not blue
i wish it was

my house is y e l l o w
I like my house
it's
my
favourite
colour . . .

the sky is always really
p r e t t y
it's either
pale blue
grey
pink
or
light orange

everything
makes me
feel at
e a s e

but i still don't want to be here

i always do this
i fall in l o v e with
each town

i get
a t t a c h e d

and then we move

it's hard to let go

someone was holding
the dog

i wish i were cool

they kept walking
