From Then To Now
Hand in hand we walked
together into Reception
Nothing could stop us and
together we were three
James and I LARP-ed Doctor
Who for fun
We talked and laughed for
hours
Because no stress was in our
way
Anna and I smiled and laughed
And jumped on our bouncy
castle
With nothing dividing us.
Side by side we walked
together into Year 6
Some stranger stopped them to
talk and broken we were alone
James and I talked about
Doctor Who for fun
And we talked and kissed for
hours
But misunderstanding broke us
up
Anna and I still smiled and
laughed
And joked about our bouncy
castle
But secondary school was going
to divide us.
With no one there I walked
alone into Year 7
And a stranger became my
friend and together we were
two
Violet and I both loved Doctor
Who
And James found Dominic
So James and I talked for mere
minutes
And school started pulling us
apart
Anna and I still laughed and
smiled
Still promising to be friends
Never letting it divide us
Suffocating and drowning I
walked into Year 9
Hating how I was and feeling
alone
Katie and Chloe were so pretty
And Violet so funny and all
were better than me
James and I hardly talked or
saw each other
But we still made the most of
our friendship
As we were like family, stress
couldn’t break us apart
Anna and I laughed but I did
not smile genuinely
Because the bouncy castle was
long gone
And our schools were beginning
to divide us
Dead yet breathing I stand
right now
And I hate who am I and every
single detail
Fights broke us up and pulled
us apart
So I can feel Katie, Violet and
Chloe
Falling further out my reach
James moved house to a place
unknown
And blamed me for never
talking to him
But really it was because of my
ex who was a girl
It was for something beyond
my control
Anna and I were still friends;
only by a thread
As she did not know about me
And how school broke me apart
So this is me now; I’m all alone
No longer the smiling young girl
of reception
The only person talking to me
is me
And the voice in side my head
You see; they all left me and
always will
So now the only call I answer
Is that of my blades
And the darkness
That is constantly
Pulling me
Down
