Monarch butterflies cascade in droves over California to stay warm,

Geese travel in flocks South to chase forever blue skies,

And little girls migrate down the stairs to pet their little cats...

In my room, what you'll find

Is a pretty painted space

Lined with all my favorite coats

Like one that’s furry, big n brown

Covering

A box of all my favorite memories in a worndown shoebox

Holding

All my deepest darkest secrets

Like a letter from my younger self,

Saying

One day we won’t be scared of telling your parents too
