I was Five

I was five.

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6f6BoyQd9

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.

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICF53DOEp4

I was five.

Moving states and places,

The Change was hard,

new people and a new start,

I was five.

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqlBUk78vv

I was five,

When I met new friends

and I made amends

Then I was ten

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKFtQxFlP8

When I was ten,

My dad knew my best friends,

But he stepped down.

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlWaw0PAxj

When I was ten,

He got a new job,

I had to leave my friends once again,

I had to leave them.

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvymTsyZqy

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.

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxj9nBrG3I

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.

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV24STtPlQ

I was twelve.

It was thanksgiving

Of all days in the year

That is when my parents decided

We were to move.

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiihWOndoDc

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

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6MbwbbaZH

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.

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d1xzpS3CP

I was thirteen

When I was in a new state once again.

New house, new school, new people.

I. Hate. It. Here!

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOPLPqnYXC

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.

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWwtEiRVsk

I want to go back.

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj8VFIotzB

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.

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXAGreRUrp

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.

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeMgn0BAaB

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.

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ630xBXtadf

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

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRisbWbVitD

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.

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf5dEzKxHr

I am fifteen.

I read books to escape,

All the people in my brain

And those who surround me.

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEoUnsqru8

The library is my sanctuary,

My safe place.

The one place I feel sane.

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmO5ECUNlp

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.

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGDgQImxVw

I didn’t read one book

And for that, I get constant jabs.

Preying on my weaknesses.

And my insecurities.

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6Ab1WFyqs

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”

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2HkSXbP3j

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

Was it my parents?

Was it my friends?391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8y0YyvwWl
Was it me?

What went wrong?

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXsFg1V89e

In the life of a fifteen-year-old.

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCvBUUVUvv

I am now sixteen

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWplSEbhbTS

Looking back on this poem

A year in time has passed

And I have begun to relax

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIrvCeJIPC

I have lived with the guilt

Knowing what I know

The reason why I was pulled

I miss my best friends it's true

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZoOadkxSh

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

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBriNPWcyh

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

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoh8cyBTcx

So I go to the theater

Where I can screech

I prefer to belt and sing

To get my frustration out

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRLYIFmGua

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

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBlkr9gdDz

To get away from those

Who make my insecurities thrive

But then there was him

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbUz0qKxb5

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

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWmWD4plyx

But we will not date

For the fear of losing our friendship

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikAHvyeSIs

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

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xeRksVchE

I am not ok

I never will fully be ok

I will give you that

Because no one is ever fully okay

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW88sM2wBN

I lost the ability to be ok

Long ago

When I lost my best friends

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a1IQIdQCF

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

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mssjhx0Lp

But for now, I will live

Because I thrive on spite

And I will try to be happy

And to stay positive

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs771wrsnGV

In my sixteen-year-old mind
