(please) Stay
and I find that people
drift in and out of my life
in one year, out the next
in one day, out the next
sometimes they drift away in a minute
and I don’t know if it’s
something I say
or something I do
or if they just don’t want to hear me talk
or maybe I’m too…
depressing.
to be around
but you heard me the night we met
and you never tuned me out
not once
you don’t just hear me when you talk
you listen, too
i mean something to you
and
you mean something to me
and
i feel that i am
reciprocated.
because you haven’t left me yet.
you
Stayed.

I'm a 16 year old girl who probably won't be an English major in college but who still enjoys creative writing. I made this account to anonymously post my poems- not just the good ones that I like people to see, but the ones I've never shown people before or that people rarely read. Things you should know about me to help you better understand my poetry: -I struggled with accepting that I am a part of the LGBT community when I was 14 years old and lost one of my best friends because she had an issue with it. -I suffer from anxiety and, though people don't seem to think I did, depression when I was younger. My mental health was worst in my sophomore year, where many of the poems with numbered titles were written. -I had a girlfriend for a month, but her family began mistreating her because of me, causing her to break up with me. I wrote many a poem about her and my feelings about the relationship. -I was led on for several months by the most adorable psychopath I've ever met.
