A change of scenery

Oh, dear what I strange planet

Goodbye grandma, goodbye friends;

I will miss you all so much,

No, I don’t want a party;

There is nothing to celebrate.

Yes I know I’m leaving but

I don’t want to party

My suitcases are done.

The plane leaves tomorrow morning,

Oh dear so early,

Oh God all my friends, my world.

As I am flying high above I look

Once more at what I’ve always known,

At my life, it’s all past now.

Three stops, thirty-two hours later

I arrive to this place,

So strange and different.

Mixed feelings strike me,

Tears fall down my eyes;

Oh, where is home?

I look everywhere,

Everything unknown,

So strange…

Everything I’ve known

Suddenly vanishes,

Who am I to be?

I look forward, and ask: hey what’s Jollibee? 

Moving away from what you know and what you are used to is always hard, but giving things a chance will make the difference between fitting in or standing out. Give it a chance.
