A change in a life

I move into a strange land,
An awfully faraway place.
I glance around and take a step;
A look of fright is on my face.

This new world seems different.
It’s bizarre; I’m insecure.
Yet I’m comforted by the weather;
The air is fresh and pure.

The breeze blows in off the mountains
And the sea air is incredibly clean.
The hills are gentle subjects who
Are ruled by a mountain queen.

I step into my new home,
Followed by my dad
I see kids playing in the park;
“Maybe this isn’t so bad.”

Now I’m not a change addict-
I’m perfectly happy without.
But life may shift
It always does
And is it really so bad to reroute?

I'm just wondering are these your real feelings about life? Or are you just writing to impress. I really think that one person was impressed. Your way of comparing things I would not imagine people comparing together was not lacking one bit!

It's really hard when you're about to move, even schools. When I knew I was going to transfer from TJ to HB, I nearly cried my butt off. This is a very good poem. It's nice.
