I was five.

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tSZlO4zv2

I was five when I was told that I was moving,

that I had to leave my friends and the life that I had behind.

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUtKglA2FD

I was five.

Moving states and places,

The Change was hard,

new people and a new start,

I was five.

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdXRuKiGfk

I was five,

When I met new friends

and I made amends

Then I was ten

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPgQXlbkKi

When I was ten,

My dad knew my best friends,

But he stepped down.

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF0bgUtoWq

When I was ten,

He got a new job,

I had to leave my friends once again,

I had to leave them.

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNEwMlgaBL

I was ten.

When my friends and I continued to speak

When my hunger started to betray me

When I had to restart my life,

And meet new people on a new street.

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJOZUvqMjF

I was ten.

When I still got to keep my home,

I didn’t like it though,

My mother and father fought,

So I slept over at my best friend’s house

I was twelve.

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckDyNACNbL

I was twelve.

It was thanksgiving

Of all days in the year

That is when my parents decided

We were to move.

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvQlpldahQ

I was twelve.

When I had my first fainting spell

I had to leave everyone.

My friends and I didn’t have a falling out

If we had I would have never come out

Of my room where I would wail for comfort

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmazGQ9xwRs

I was twelve.

When my brain began to think

About how I am going to keep my friends

People change and so do I

but they are the ones that keep me sane.

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSpaxvGwlx

I was thirteen

When I was in a new state once again.

New house, new school, new people.

I. Hate. It. Here!

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhfrSbBMnj

It has been almost three years.

I know the reason,

The reason I was torn from my friends,

The reason I have to live in this hell.

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsT0ZrZo7e

I want to go back.

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMltka5kWwr

Back when I had my best friends right by my side.

Back when I saw them daily

To when I spoke to them bravely

TO WHEN I WASN’T SAD.

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WtpojKXlp

I am fifteen years old.

I can sleep but I don’t

I like to stay happy even when I’m not.

I talk to my best friends,

but not as much as I should.

I need to talk to them more,

Before I overthink.

Before I lose them,

And before I lose myself.

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0Q6kEyz2n

I am fifteen years of age,

I have been forced to move states or schools

Four times.

Four times my parents have said, never again.

You are going to graduate high school here.

Each time these things happened

I got progressively worse.

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWRGILeyP0

They look at me and ask where their happy little daughter is

Not even bothering to notice that she hasn’t been there,

Ever since I had to leave my best friends

One Boy

One Girl

The lights of my life

People who can just so easily take away that light

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BkCQqPEoV

Talking to them makes everything better

I feel the slightest bit insecure about something

And they instantly say the smallest things,

Howdy.

And everything melts away

All the insecurities

All the Pain

All the words in my brain.

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBCo1JFcMa

I am fifteen.

I read books to escape,

All the people in my brain

And those who surround me.

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUBbU6eFx4

The library is my sanctuary,

My safe place.

The one place I feel sane.

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn34qnKRe6M

I won’t speak but others will.

The people I surround myself with

It is not good for me,

They are not from my roots

but I am stuck in theirs.

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSeoYRlX2M

I didn’t read one book

And for that, I get constant jabs.

Preying on my weaknesses.

And my insecurities.

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTHXuK13QZ

I talked to them.

The people I surround myself with,

I made it known that,

I am not ok with what they say,

And what they do.

But no matter how much I try,

“They will never listen to you”

So I have made a decision

Once I can be confident,

I will free myself

From the burden that is my “friends”

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b89JDFZqB

Why did life have to turn out the way it is?

Was it my parents?

Was it my friends?370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wzJVMlkKF
Was it me?

What went wrong?

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52dCNk2CdF

In the life of a fifteen-year-old.

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHKAqKj8b3

I am now sixteen

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxZRnGyQqh

Looking back on this poem

A year in time has passed

And I have begun to relax

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz2mk6YsTr

I have lived with the guilt

Knowing what I know

The reason why I was pulled

I miss my best friends it's true

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjOwLwVYEZ

Living without them is like living without food

My hunger deteriorates

I get lightheaded

My body hot

My ears and eyes shot

Everything blurred

I can’t see a thing

Muffled sounds

As I fall from my feet

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pICf05s9b

The issue at hand got better once

But it is slowly getting worse again

Sometimes I forget to eat

Other I just see food and can’t think

Of anything other than not eating it

It makes me gag

I would rather scream

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXZjXbsCI8

So I go to the theater

Where I can screech

I prefer to belt and sing

To get my frustration out

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUArPaKLMiV

But the one thing is

I can’t do that without

Those “friends” showing up too

I don’t want them there

It’s my safe space

For me to survive

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9848JESZDc

To get away from those

Who make my insecurities thrive

But then there was him

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zu2Fc2YfX

He got me to eat

Somehow I don’t even know how

To walk and run

And somehow breathe again

I don’t know how

But I have known him for a long time

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH2UzoOu6k

But we will not date

For the fear of losing our friendship

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXBoKXKraL

I have been through that before

I cannot do it again

It broke my heart

And it still does to this day

I don’t want it to suffer like that ever again

So we will stay friends

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PtEqGc2It

I am not ok

I never will fully be ok

I will give you that

Because no one is ever fully okay

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU8SzRsTTC

I lost the ability to be ok

Long ago

When I lost my best friends

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gqb59wdwJ

I haven’t seen them in three years

And that is when it all began

I don’t know how to fix this

Am I mentally ill, probably.

The thought that I have ADHD

Has a high chance

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwPM4BN8Gl

But for now, I will live

Because I thrive on spite

And I will try to be happy

And to stay positive

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH3BrJlmuK

In my sixteen-year-old mind
