I was Five

I was five.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeE7T5qDC7

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.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmFWNJNzLa

I was five.

Moving states and places,

The Change was hard,

new people and a new start,

I was five.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFUbQkiTu7

I was five,

When I met new friends

and I made amends

Then I was ten

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaZdGgDn32

When I was ten,

My dad knew my best friends,

But he stepped down.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgZXJdHiFK

When I was ten,

He got a new job,

I had to leave my friends once again,

I had to leave them.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNydmP5yfe2

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.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTdVhXoBmS

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.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJCZRmZY2p

I was twelve.

It was thanksgiving

Of all days in the year

That is when my parents decided

We were to move.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm2yytFhbz

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

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpJXQSGfoR

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.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVFTzTjn0J

I was thirteen

When I was in a new state once again.

New house, new school, new people.

I. Hate. It. Here!

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVuB0gAtkw

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.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyOOgxARf0

I want to go back.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPSGljBOgb

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.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI4yL2tSIx

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.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38QRqt595y

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.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAu1fdibtT

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

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtLqCnYAbs

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.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sTwsMJw5V

I am fifteen.

I read books to escape,

All the people in my brain

And those who surround me.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqDBrhCnyk

The library is my sanctuary,

My safe place.

The one place I feel sane.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEad16hOSW

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.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkbvfPe7gz

I didn’t read one book

And for that, I get constant jabs.

Preying on my weaknesses.

And my insecurities.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjvlTfX1h4

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”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdvqkv7qLy

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

Was it my parents?

Was it my friends?446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX1ErB2qLy
Was it me?

What went wrong?

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjSAG6whJH

In the life of a fifteen-year-old.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeMODIL99h

I am now sixteen

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoPXIsE34f

Looking back on this poem

A year in time has passed

And I have begun to relax

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn62VeNDxT0

I have lived with the guilt

Knowing what I know

The reason why I was pulled

I miss my best friends it's true

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3N0sEMwL2

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

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Sh0AQQPhI

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

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX8wkYIFCn

So I go to the theater

Where I can screech

I prefer to belt and sing

To get my frustration out

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEyLVbNF0O

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

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOowxZeVRg

To get away from those

Who make my insecurities thrive

But then there was him

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcgE8Ro0lH

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

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP2BBdpQXH

But we will not date

For the fear of losing our friendship

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThL63bYDy4

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

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1oEClmfYL

I am not ok

I never will fully be ok

I will give you that

Because no one is ever fully okay

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Atac6vMAm

I lost the ability to be ok

Long ago

When I lost my best friends

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoRefN8atR

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

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIPBezGuPs

But for now, I will live

Because I thrive on spite

And I will try to be happy

And to stay positive

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwPKMVcKir

In my sixteen-year-old mind
