This is good. There’s an unspoken inner dialog. I think it reads well, maybe just a suggestion on the first line of the 2nd stanza. The only thing is the title, it seems to over promise. It seems to hint that something forced the move, Abuse, job-loss, there are many reasons people have to move. The piece is nice as is, if you can have a title that matches the scale of your images (just spit balling something like “New Beginning”), or maybe one stanza that hints more directly at why the move.
