I don’t care for change much
I’m not that girl
I prefer stability in my world
I’ve moved and moved
Quick pack your bags
A new home
New family
New school
It was always a drag
Every time
Beginning again
Outsider me
In the corner
Don’t see me
I don’t fit in
You don’t know me
I didn’t grow up here
I’m the stranger
And now I’m an adult
In the same house for 20 years
I don’t like change still
I don’t want a new car
New tv, new computer, new phone
I’m fine like this
Let me alone
Safe in my space
Where little changes
Just the day
As it rearranges
Just my family
Just my face
Aging now
Gravity pulling all my parts
To the floor’s space
I wake in my bed
My same old bed
I like my bed
And the view from my window
My dog in my bed
Hogging the blanket
I don’t need new
I don’t need different
I’m different enough
In my head
And that’s plenty
Some people want new
New new new
Run to buy
That’s not me
But I do adventure
I do love nature
Nature is not change the same
Nature changes all the time
Just the same
Year in and out
And I feel safe
In nature’s house
Adventure I do
Enjoy this earth
Enjoy the creatures, trees
Mother Nature’s birth
Then come home
To my safe place
Where all my things
Are in their space
And I feel safe
No need for change
But come for tea or coffee
I welcome friends
Nice
So poignant. I would love not to wish for new.
New can sometimes not be all sparkly and shiny but bad news 🙁
