Moving a Lot

I remember we moved a lot, when I was really young, always going to new schools, again I'd have to fit in. I never knew why we moved so much, we were never one place long, pack up our things as usual, and then we would be gone. years down the track, I started to question why, why we moved around so much, it was because of gang rivalry, Mum said, it happened every time. I didn't know a lot about things, that happened behind the scene, being run out, shot at and petrol bombed, pretty much a common theme. so yeah, until that day I never knew, why we moved so much, we moved for our own safety, otherwise we'd all be toesed up.
