I was Five

I was five.

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa9e5bNFpR

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.

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1traHwDJfl

I was five.

Moving states and places,

The Change was hard,

new people and a new start,

I was five.

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXjQp6qhfg

I was five,

When I met new friends

and I made amends

Then I was ten

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3PBd2nxQp

When I was ten,

My dad knew my best friends,

But he stepped down.

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaxmrBHszS

When I was ten,

He got a new job,

I had to leave my friends once again,

I had to leave them.

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPHayBpbso

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.

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjybpvMm9uE

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.

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh6on2as22

I was twelve.

It was thanksgiving

Of all days in the year

That is when my parents decided

We were to move.

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl3pGtfiyO

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

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9jvWBywhe

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.

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwbtWfKPU6

I was thirteen

When I was in a new state once again.

New house, new school, new people.

I. Hate. It. Here!

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCu4DDHMeP

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.

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqthcW9fQV

I want to go back.

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QHGAd3U2s

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.

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKTt1xZKME

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.

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NgIvt9hxS

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.

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhmXphlK3l

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

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNnoJ1Inha

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.

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjJ263hviD

I am fifteen.

I read books to escape,

All the people in my brain

And those who surround me.

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KyMHPnl1C

The library is my sanctuary,

My safe place.

The one place I feel sane.

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6aUwWF8YW

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.

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzusVzmjNdd

I didn’t read one book

And for that, I get constant jabs.

Preying on my weaknesses.

And my insecurities.

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYDvMH22YG

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”

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJRCqGKLsD

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

Was it my parents?

Was it my friends?426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA3jjMSGZQ
Was it me?

What went wrong?

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw3to86hBs

In the life of a fifteen-year-old.

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgTD3mwShJ

I am now sixteen

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgrNkYV4eC

Looking back on this poem

A year in time has passed

And I have begun to relax

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJbPzT87iT

I have lived with the guilt

Knowing what I know

The reason why I was pulled

I miss my best friends it's true

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa97rMTNDDp

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

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D9ZY4C1mi

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

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRWuQwkKWw

So I go to the theater

Where I can screech

I prefer to belt and sing

To get my frustration out

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD2p04j6cv

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

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5OvdfWgMt

To get away from those

Who make my insecurities thrive

But then there was him

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvty8FeO23

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

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0WsedAGL1

But we will not date

For the fear of losing our friendship

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukUqXskzZ8

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

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsulQb1ORb

I am not ok

I never will fully be ok

I will give you that

Because no one is ever fully okay

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCXSFeEKsm

I lost the ability to be ok

Long ago

When I lost my best friends

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBTu3wZkBU

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

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TygL6VFgc

But for now, I will live

Because I thrive on spite

And I will try to be happy

And to stay positive

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe4Y87giIj

In my sixteen-year-old mind
