Changes

Something will change every day.
I moved six times. I felt like I was traveling.
But something will change every day.
My Baba died. Even though we weren’t blood to blood.
I loved you even more.
It may be hard to process but I won’t lose my way.
My mom got remarried.
It was a huge change.
But something will change every day.
My dad got engaged.
I was nervous.
But something will change every day.
I went to the fifth grade.
I was a little scared.
It may be hard to process but I won’t lose my way.
My dog died.
Like a dagger in my heart. I missed you so much.
Something will change every day.
It may be hard to process but I won’t lose my way.
