Besties

Before we bonded

Bullies belittled me

And it broke my heart

Because I felt it in my bones

But now that we belong

With each other's beautifully 

Breathtaking selves

Their words don't break

My blazing heart

And my bones no longer

Ache with buzzing pain

We are bonded you and I

Because we're best friends

And although I long to be your boyfriend

I am bubbly and blissful

Even as your bestie

    Hello

    My name is Jaden

    I am fifteen

    And this is a poem

    About me

    About how I feel

    Being a teenager

    In 2025

     

    Distance

    Rain

    Endless nights

    With no end in sight

    Sometimes
    I wake up
    And I just can’t
    I can’t get up
    I can’t go to school
    I can’t go get my meds

    Because sometimes
    It’s too much
    Accepting this world
    Is just too much
    And I just can’t
    Make myself
