I was Five

I was five.

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE5AR1H8Yk

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.

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LNBAgh01G

I was five.

Moving states and places,

The Change was hard,

new people and a new start,

I was five.

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GXRLo8cNT

I was five,

When I met new friends

and I made amends

Then I was ten

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIToQfkzWfY

When I was ten,

My dad knew my best friends,

But he stepped down.

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLzDlw2KIh

When I was ten,

He got a new job,

I had to leave my friends once again,

I had to leave them.

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRKYFYniKH

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.

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8CgJlwu63

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.

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrqSMIVtpl

I was twelve.

It was thanksgiving

Of all days in the year

That is when my parents decided

We were to move.

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDG7jQ5J54

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

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwKmnxjIGc

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.

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrY5fh5Ygl

I was thirteen

When I was in a new state once again.

New house, new school, new people.

I. Hate. It. Here!

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3Oqj8ZV2v

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.

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZiyNLbH0d

I want to go back.

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kmmXnh879

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.

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQXsVlMIRe

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.

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9ytbLkFmx

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.

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJJO1JI6VA

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

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCTh9F5mFX

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.

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xLFo091kG

I am fifteen.

I read books to escape,

All the people in my brain

And those who surround me.

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApzTkXgAsV

The library is my sanctuary,

My safe place.

The one place I feel sane.

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LQYpgDKF6

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.

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqKgoFwcyP

I didn’t read one book

And for that, I get constant jabs.

Preying on my weaknesses.

And my insecurities.

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgtIjx0wYd

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”

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2DYeQWqNI

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

Was it my parents?

Was it my friends?372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F05lWTufN
Was it me?

What went wrong?

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5Odk2rw1h

In the life of a fifteen-year-old.

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp63Wc4OarK

I am now sixteen

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznm2pPkI89

Looking back on this poem

A year in time has passed

And I have begun to relax

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QiBVdBQyo

I have lived with the guilt

Knowing what I know

The reason why I was pulled

I miss my best friends it's true

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPiVw12tAE

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

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqqJBXrfMw

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

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivGU9yYiAK

So I go to the theater

Where I can screech

I prefer to belt and sing

To get my frustration out

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuZw6s4JyR

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

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB4UYZGC51

To get away from those

Who make my insecurities thrive

But then there was him

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR6x5a1QYl

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

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPyBpNger6

But we will not date

For the fear of losing our friendship

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabPrOhOtJ7

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

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaYJatRrPg

I am not ok

I never will fully be ok

I will give you that

Because no one is ever fully okay

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVXX4FmMsN

I lost the ability to be ok

Long ago

When I lost my best friends

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yFPMLNwXJ

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

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98UQR1oibl

But for now, I will live

Because I thrive on spite

And I will try to be happy

And to stay positive

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNKKUF29Q7

In my sixteen-year-old mind
