I was Five

I was five.

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2UhX3chaw

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.

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16yEoNET2D

I was five.

Moving states and places,

The Change was hard,

new people and a new start,

I was five.

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSGvEftzrJ

I was five,

When I met new friends

and I made amends

Then I was ten

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHhrmn5VdX

When I was ten,

My dad knew my best friends,

But he stepped down.

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIExQepbvVS

When I was ten,

He got a new job,

I had to leave my friends once again,

I had to leave them.

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsBhbM6vKz

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.

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJGX7QZYll

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.

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35ZYwJ85sT

I was twelve.

It was thanksgiving

Of all days in the year

That is when my parents decided

We were to move.

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66x3y7hpXr

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

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY357PRyg4

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.

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BDzHhmoG0

I was thirteen

When I was in a new state once again.

New house, new school, new people.

I. Hate. It. Here!

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRTKGq3Edk

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.

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6NQO4NQ2c

I want to go back.

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nMv7tXGt8

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.

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UR2JV1MCb

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.

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYvpUuFgML

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.

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU2oOwzyDK

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

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6AoY2T84v

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.

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGm0drH5Tk

I am fifteen.

I read books to escape,

All the people in my brain

And those who surround me.

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArc4BTNoEJ

The library is my sanctuary,

My safe place.

The one place I feel sane.

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIrvsWBNBz

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.

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJna2f8Q50

I didn’t read one book

And for that, I get constant jabs.

Preying on my weaknesses.

And my insecurities.

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW8ndAlT2f

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”

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcO1zfx5mX

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

Was it my parents?

Was it my friends?433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAkvqFFer9
Was it me?

What went wrong?

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm2zbheYvv

In the life of a fifteen-year-old.

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9YekLCuQB

I am now sixteen

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw3hyUJZda

Looking back on this poem

A year in time has passed

And I have begun to relax

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN4tLuJEo5

I have lived with the guilt

Knowing what I know

The reason why I was pulled

I miss my best friends it's true

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtcTDqGOfS

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

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwvTfWz7pK

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

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5gTZgvRLK

So I go to the theater

Where I can screech

I prefer to belt and sing

To get my frustration out

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId3H2el87T

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

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU94f0IxRba

To get away from those

Who make my insecurities thrive

But then there was him

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaLTXdgxXS

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

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfecIUrKCBT

But we will not date

For the fear of losing our friendship

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVipnBNd48B

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

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pem0xMUJV

I am not ok

I never will fully be ok

I will give you that

Because no one is ever fully okay

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMVADfWWFU

I lost the ability to be ok

Long ago

When I lost my best friends

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniZqHvKVaU

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

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUCrXiS0hb

But for now, I will live

Because I thrive on spite

And I will try to be happy

And to stay positive

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuyczkZv5W

In my sixteen-year-old mind
