All my friends are leaving

All my friends are eighth graders,

Or on the other team.

Aside from two,

Who I hope never tire of me

But probably already have.

All my friends are eighth graders,

Which means all my friends are leaving.

All my friends are going away

To a faraway place

Except for a few

Who are stuck with me.

I have a friend

Who can't spell "coconut"

And who can't spell

Anything

Actually.

I have a friend

Not really a friend

An in-between

Who jumps into our conversations

Randomly

And gives me this Look

Like I'm crazy.

I have two friends

Who are amazing

And watching me write

Who I've written

A lot about.

I have a few friends, out of reach

On another team -

Crazy

Psycho

Nobody knows.

The rest of my friends

The sane ones

Are eighth graders.

All my friends are leaving.

  • Broken

    I let myself cry

    And it felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest

    Exploding

    Shattering into the sky

    I felt like I was dying

    Each day it gets easier

    But when it catches up to you

  • Replaced memories

    You created memories

    And then got to move on

    Leaving them untouched and perfect

    Mine are being trampled.

    Walked all over by my friends

    My peers

    I can't DO this

    This constant emotional bombardment
