I was Five

I was five.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp8URFCkXV

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.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYdDqC1Tlk

I was five.

Moving states and places,

The Change was hard,

new people and a new start,

I was five.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Srhw4wkvA

I was five,

When I met new friends

and I made amends

Then I was ten

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVKTC0wLuN

When I was ten,

My dad knew my best friends,

But he stepped down.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NkaEUKSbI

When I was ten,

He got a new job,

I had to leave my friends once again,

I had to leave them.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL68KVpDW4L

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.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhZTtQxhZy

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.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv3bKwp8za

I was twelve.

It was thanksgiving

Of all days in the year

That is when my parents decided

We were to move.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1wB8WLQHm

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

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHrjHhrfil

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.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b1ugGu2Qq

I was thirteen

When I was in a new state once again.

New house, new school, new people.

I. Hate. It. Here!

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH7vd5pRLA

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.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBmE5vd7x1

I want to go back.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAUfkS6hLE

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.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinPDWOyCDs

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.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwwFvVFSM2

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.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTwlDohXe8

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

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXcICTrKo8

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.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHZa8y2YQQ

I am fifteen.

I read books to escape,

All the people in my brain

And those who surround me.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdENk0DiWfc

The library is my sanctuary,

My safe place.

The one place I feel sane.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr7FgeRYbT

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.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTgQH5wUOr

I didn’t read one book

And for that, I get constant jabs.

Preying on my weaknesses.

And my insecurities.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXxPcsmUjb

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”

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0TlKEnafV

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

Was it my parents?

Was it my friends?408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywlMoriQei
Was it me?

What went wrong?

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMoquoFXVW

In the life of a fifteen-year-old.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1pxEO3Ddq

I am now sixteen

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPTgxGg6ut

Looking back on this poem

A year in time has passed

And I have begun to relax

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWADD2tOQN

I have lived with the guilt

Knowing what I know

The reason why I was pulled

I miss my best friends it's true

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCoSdivmkO

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

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YQSgDY7SX

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

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRbrZiuROq

So I go to the theater

Where I can screech

I prefer to belt and sing

To get my frustration out

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyMRSLQbfv

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

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnTxvOcJqp

To get away from those

Who make my insecurities thrive

But then there was him

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoWJiKErv8

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

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAkfWmaCyf

But we will not date

For the fear of losing our friendship

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupTlWBwQ1h

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

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcpghJEa1A

I am not ok

I never will fully be ok

I will give you that

Because no one is ever fully okay

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAcrcevFGS

I lost the ability to be ok

Long ago

When I lost my best friends

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5AWk365ho

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

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLguHnzTCB

But for now, I will live

Because I thrive on spite

And I will try to be happy

And to stay positive

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgqarP0UTe

In my sixteen-year-old mind
