I was Five

I was five.

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFXxJO639a

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.

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ej2RSP85W

I was five.

Moving states and places,

The Change was hard,

new people and a new start,

I was five.

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicgm7ktM7W

I was five,

When I met new friends

and I made amends

Then I was ten

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGSoCTb04x

When I was ten,

My dad knew my best friends,

But he stepped down.

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXgkti4VgC

When I was ten,

He got a new job,

I had to leave my friends once again,

I had to leave them.

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB8EfVfass

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.

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOPIYEHMiD

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.

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12p25daovj

I was twelve.

It was thanksgiving

Of all days in the year

That is when my parents decided

We were to move.

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPF07jSDly

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

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUePsw9VG5

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.

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04XcroQjVO

I was thirteen

When I was in a new state once again.

New house, new school, new people.

I. Hate. It. Here!

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrvvbHZczb

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.

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwPRfaEWTf

I want to go back.

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYlGcJ9uan

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.

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KARYE95zk

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.

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEGmIcnF1v

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.

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfHv8FP3Z8

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

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerXfBHJRXe

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.

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyE8UztoxB

I am fifteen.

I read books to escape,

All the people in my brain

And those who surround me.

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPjNAhkrdN

The library is my sanctuary,

My safe place.

The one place I feel sane.

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLo9LoPvUo

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.

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhmw99l0cF

I didn’t read one book

And for that, I get constant jabs.

Preying on my weaknesses.

And my insecurities.

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRG5QT3HCF

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”

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OKXbAe588

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

Was it my parents?

Was it my friends?415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ6q4Qltx6
Was it me?

What went wrong?

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYonAvPCH0I

In the life of a fifteen-year-old.

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXo9o8vyXH

I am now sixteen

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54M5UpJ6h8

Looking back on this poem

A year in time has passed

And I have begun to relax

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A5tniUYtl

I have lived with the guilt

Knowing what I know

The reason why I was pulled

I miss my best friends it's true

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGsCsth67y

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

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFKyvDMCsp

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

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5YIkU2506

So I go to the theater

Where I can screech

I prefer to belt and sing

To get my frustration out

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEKzL8saq6

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

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GtW8hcpHC

To get away from those

Who make my insecurities thrive

But then there was him

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub0WFtMrjb

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

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmicOy1qrK

But we will not date

For the fear of losing our friendship

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuDXIxXQqI

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

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGfjpNhdWH

I am not ok

I never will fully be ok

I will give you that

Because no one is ever fully okay

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcKnzw6ukw

I lost the ability to be ok

Long ago

When I lost my best friends

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IDQcHO8Fn

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

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyDHXDWL87

But for now, I will live

Because I thrive on spite

And I will try to be happy

And to stay positive

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZonAR50iZo

In my sixteen-year-old mind
