I was five.

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAdf03plRr

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.

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9rV5Sn89h

I was five.

Moving states and places,

The Change was hard,

new people and a new start,

I was five.

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOxEfxCAt0

I was five,

When I met new friends

and I made amends

Then I was ten

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzkWnGfeJD

When I was ten,

My dad knew my best friends,

But he stepped down.

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ5kuu4TG4

When I was ten,

He got a new job,

I had to leave my friends once again,

I had to leave them.

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8m6eXaO52

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.

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSevdZi2Ebs

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.

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62tyiGd0Fn

I was twelve.

It was thanksgiving

Of all days in the year

That is when my parents decided

We were to move.

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6nWpokW1h

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

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOVpGgRdD3

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.

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXrqhNRc9q

I was thirteen

When I was in a new state once again.

New house, new school, new people.

I. Hate. It. Here!

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kf1ttn3TZ

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.

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatpCnu88hn

I want to go back.

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48VaHAIezm

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.

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvgbDJG0go

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.

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpbir2fmUV

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.

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr8Uj9gxy4

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

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVtXnkdD1A

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.

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4nX9IqffP

I am fifteen.

I read books to escape,

All the people in my brain

And those who surround me.

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26PkTg8iDH

The library is my sanctuary,

My safe place.

The one place I feel sane.

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4Yblm2PYe

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.

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSPn0mURjn

I didn’t read one book

And for that, I get constant jabs.

Preying on my weaknesses.

And my insecurities.

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8Uj7NMFSH

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”

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8CyndtVgt

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

Was it my parents?

Was it my friends?404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqQkGxFrsN
Was it me?

What went wrong?

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2edzwobN54

In the life of a fifteen-year-old.

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ffy5qQU7u

I am now sixteen

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAbH93WdCT

Looking back on this poem

A year in time has passed

And I have begun to relax

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6AnurXciQ

I have lived with the guilt

Knowing what I know

The reason why I was pulled

I miss my best friends it's true

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk6ZJLjQI5

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

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8vaBdbtWn

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

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRjrvCCpkh

So I go to the theater

Where I can screech

I prefer to belt and sing

To get my frustration out

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEkpnpkkue

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

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZTTOKiGAu

To get away from those

Who make my insecurities thrive

But then there was him

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsToVkpmyB

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

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubxIyW2wmW

But we will not date

For the fear of losing our friendship

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMuDt3TbiZ

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

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhne0AszrNQ

I am not ok

I never will fully be ok

I will give you that

Because no one is ever fully okay

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4yWyfQKFx

I lost the ability to be ok

Long ago

When I lost my best friends

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0AJocHACr

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

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIKhYlLJEM

But for now, I will live

Because I thrive on spite

And I will try to be happy

And to stay positive

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVNqjxQLuG

In my sixteen-year-old mind
