I was Five

I was five.

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqaePdk90z

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.

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEBr2b4Lf5

I was five.

Moving states and places,

The Change was hard,

new people and a new start,

I was five.

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgQzTN4wre

I was five,

When I met new friends

and I made amends

Then I was ten

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDwHUCnhgQ

When I was ten,

My dad knew my best friends,

But he stepped down.

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz50ahTTFt8

When I was ten,

He got a new job,

I had to leave my friends once again,

I had to leave them.

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjVDtY5Xzz

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.

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhadbczKNb2

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.

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsnvhvoKFd

I was twelve.

It was thanksgiving

Of all days in the year

That is when my parents decided

We were to move.

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPyLpwhGCK

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

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYggpJHLRT

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.

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrTtqgIbcY

I was thirteen

When I was in a new state once again.

New house, new school, new people.

I. Hate. It. Here!

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb72AHZUZC

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.

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6tJWkMUu5

I want to go back.

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UGcgiv0SU

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.

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ikk3dOO9T

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.

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp2L4vjYVs

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.

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWmP5PKnhZ

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

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzcAYeW6PF

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.

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIcwbva4qj

I am fifteen.

I read books to escape,

All the people in my brain

And those who surround me.

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwsVc46hOY

The library is my sanctuary,

My safe place.

The one place I feel sane.

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd27l96PMoG

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.

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3HBZmOEPw

I didn’t read one book

And for that, I get constant jabs.

Preying on my weaknesses.

And my insecurities.

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmLTCID6Yu

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”

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFUjxzAVne

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

Was it my parents?

Was it my friends?367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrzHckScxs
Was it me?

What went wrong?

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0r8kXsoeN

In the life of a fifteen-year-old.

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiDnAWV7Bf

I am now sixteen

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9Od0x25SV

Looking back on this poem

A year in time has passed

And I have begun to relax

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zRz8oyWQZ

I have lived with the guilt

Knowing what I know

The reason why I was pulled

I miss my best friends it's true

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOWSgdk4l0

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

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0JRAlo1CB

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

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdapGtsiJX

So I go to the theater

Where I can screech

I prefer to belt and sing

To get my frustration out

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZur05Vh9o

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

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT51PfSpJ0T

To get away from those

Who make my insecurities thrive

But then there was him

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RvPtpgHUe

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

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kiulQOaLf

But we will not date

For the fear of losing our friendship

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhopHkNCkoZ

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

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzN7cdlTBT

I am not ok

I never will fully be ok

I will give you that

Because no one is ever fully okay

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAWADTLAOb

I lost the ability to be ok

Long ago

When I lost my best friends

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1BBzMEDK6

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

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7lMWpHtAB

But for now, I will live

Because I thrive on spite

And I will try to be happy

And to stay positive

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZFyt0iaf0

In my sixteen-year-old mind
