I was five.

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8myiKDmD0K

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.

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqNME5hs4e

I was five.

Moving states and places,

The Change was hard,

new people and a new start,

I was five.

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE6vNiaeO7

I was five,

When I met new friends

and I made amends

Then I was ten

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6JocRMmhY

When I was ten,

My dad knew my best friends,

But he stepped down.

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFis5ckajYN

When I was ten,

He got a new job,

I had to leave my friends once again,

I had to leave them.

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFM5n3MN2x

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.

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagv8PUmk0K

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.

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph88W0fIjj

I was twelve.

It was thanksgiving

Of all days in the year

That is when my parents decided

We were to move.

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLejHSwqzq1

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

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAWL2xgVWS

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.

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYRWq7YBkn

I was thirteen

When I was in a new state once again.

New house, new school, new people.

I. Hate. It. Here!

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIuHpQQmSw

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.

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN9vQr3j0v

I want to go back.

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl9k23WiWe

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.

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xNvHpUZnT

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.

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkQrsUso6M

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.

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhbtZrOSj0

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

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNuiXtk8M5

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.

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXL2abHATd

I am fifteen.

I read books to escape,

All the people in my brain

And those who surround me.

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRtSjCRpXJ

The library is my sanctuary,

My safe place.

The one place I feel sane.

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRJaQhJ8p4

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.

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIXmmHwbHe

I didn’t read one book

And for that, I get constant jabs.

Preying on my weaknesses.

And my insecurities.

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlxNrdhygL

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”

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB2BPgpUZv

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

Was it my parents?

Was it my friends?471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQBIFgiruA
Was it me?

What went wrong?

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLL7yaaM63

In the life of a fifteen-year-old.

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94Ld6VmZSp

I am now sixteen

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIHTxleUvw

Looking back on this poem

A year in time has passed

And I have begun to relax

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJlRSwmpr5

I have lived with the guilt

Knowing what I know

The reason why I was pulled

I miss my best friends it's true

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxSlqVgwys

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

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa0J6sF13t

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

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wEmWA6M6c

So I go to the theater

Where I can screech

I prefer to belt and sing

To get my frustration out

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrlvZ6kTOo

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

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY6uuSvAGw

To get away from those

Who make my insecurities thrive

But then there was him

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Lys1CvAkR

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

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72DhASbDL6

But we will not date

For the fear of losing our friendship

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECf2m9YVK8

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

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel1CaH6AXV

I am not ok

I never will fully be ok

I will give you that

Because no one is ever fully okay

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TZk7aRScW

I lost the ability to be ok

Long ago

When I lost my best friends

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpmZdAih6V

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

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZPqgB0pDB

But for now, I will live

Because I thrive on spite

And I will try to be happy

And to stay positive

471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EavuVke0w

In my sixteen-year-old mind
