I Move A Lot


Every year it’s the same 

Pack the boxes, write your name 

A different story, but the same game

I move a lot 

In a new house but not my home 

Unpack the hairbrush and the combo

Realize you broke the garden gnome 

I move a lot

It seems any time I settle

Any time I make a friend 

The world comes crashing down on me 

And it does end 

It seems any time I feel happy

Any time I am content

You’d think making me unhappy 

Is their evil intent 

Every year it is the same

Pack the boxes, sign my name 

A different town, but the same game 

I move a lot

Heather The Tired Writer

Heyyy there~ I'm Heather. I'm tired. I'm still a minor (so to ~those~ accounts, leave me out of it please). And life is confusing. I am an amateur writer who mainly focuses on writing original stories, but I occasionally do some fanfiction and poetry. Aside from that, I am also a crappy artist, piano player, music student, and programmer. I also am a really big anime, musical, and animation in general nerd. The complete list of fandoms is waaay too long, so drop me a dm and ask if I enjoy the same thing you do (chances are, I do.) If you'd like to see more of me, you can follow me on...

Thanks for reading my profile! Have a wonderful day! With Love, ~Heather
