The Girl I Used To Be
- By Stephanie Bennett-Henry
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Change Poems

Try as I may, try as I do,
there are days when I wish
I could go back
to the girl I used to be

Try as I may, try as I do,
there are days when I wish
I could go back
to the girl I used to be
and tell her about
all the roads to avoid.
But if I did that
I may not have become
the girl I am now,
and I am too proud of her
to risk taking even one piece
of her journey away.

I Hope You Find Peace

in Poems about Life Struggles

I hope you find peace in your battles
I hope you find light within the darkness
I hope you find comfort in your storm
I hope you find your smile within the tears

I hope you find peace in your battles
I hope you find light within the darkness
I hope you find comfort in your storm
I hope you find your smile within the tears
I hope your heart beats lighter
when it starts to feel heavy
I hope you find the kind of love that stays
I hope you find someone who welcomes your broken pieces home.

Somewhere between
hello and goodbye
a whole life happened.
And now, I am left to wonder
just how long
I will be

Even When; Especially When
- By Lauren Bowman
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Inspirational Poems

Even when you feel like a million scattered pieces,
you are still whole.
Even when you’re unsure of the path you’re walking,
you still have purpose.

Even when you feel like a million scattered pieces,
you are still whole.
Even when you’re unsure of the path you’re walking,

Even when your lover leaves you empty and begging,
you are still loved.
Even when you’ve tried and tried and failed and failed,
you are still worthy.
Even when;
especially when.

A New Beginning

in Poems about Life Struggles

sometimes I wonder
why life feels
so uphill most of the time.
but maybe

sometimes I wonder
why life feels
so uphill most of the time.
but maybe
the mountains are rooting for us.
maybe they want us to see sights
we would never get to see without them.
because in that moment,
when life takes your breath away
for all her beauty, you are reborn.
and I don’t think there is anything
more perfect
in this world than a new beginning.

I Want To Tell You
- By Lorelei

in I Miss You Poems

There’s so much I want to say to you,
words I buried in my mind
but when it’s time to sing the verses
the melodies come out wrong.

There’s so much I want to say to you,
words I buried in my mind
but when it’s time to sing the verses

I want to tell you
that I still miss you
even though I know I shouldn’t.
I want to tell you
that I wish to hold you
even though I can’t.
I want to tell you
you are the one
even when you couldn’t be.

But most of all
I want to tell you
that I love you
and I never stopped

But maybe one day
you’d keep telling me, instead.

The Marching Heart
- By Beau Taplin

in Short Poems

I believe the beating in our hearts
was put there to remind us
that even when we feel alone in the world,
a part of us marches on,

I believe the beating in our hearts
was put there to remind us
that even when we feel alone in the world,
a part of us marches on,
that even at our lowest
we carry something inside of us
that we can lean on and turn to,
that even when there is no one else,
we always have ourselves.

I will hold it so tight

Give me you.

There is purpose in my path and

in who I am and I will
believe in it.”
And then go climb your mountains

Learning To Let Go

in Change Poems

Letting go doesn’t
always look how you think it will.
Sometimes it happens all at once.
Sometimes it’s in phases.

Letting go doesn’t
always look how you think it will.
Sometimes it happens all at once.
Sometimes it’s in phases.
Oftentimes it requires a few tries
and heartfelt goodbyes.
Even when it’s good for you,
letting go is hard on a heart.
But like the changing seasons,
we will learn to change too.
In time, in time,
In time…

You're Better Off Without Me
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2021 with permission of the Author.
I often picture what it would be like to see you again. To hear your voice, or feel the weight of your hand in mine. I rehearse what I'd say to you, whether or not I'd tell you about the poetry, how I'd reply if you asked me if I was happy, yet.

But the truth is I'll never tell you any of it. I won't call or find my way to your door. As much as I miss you, I know that you will want to love me - to pick up the pieces of me and hold them together, the way you always used to. And we'll end up back where we were, with you ignoring how much it hurt to try and love me - still giving even when there's nothing left for me to take.

If we're honest, we both know you're better off without me. If I really want you to be happy, then I have to accept that it means being far away from me. So I will love you from a distance, even if that means you believe the worst of me.

in Hurting Poems

I’ve written you
so many letters
I won’t send.
I’ve rehearsed

I’ve written you
so many letters
I won’t send.
I’ve rehearsed
phone calls
and played out
chance meetings
in my head.
And yet, I’ll never
tell you any of it.
Because I know
(deep down)
you’re better off
without me,
and I want you
to be happy,
whatever that means.

Just Us Two
- By Amy O Connor

For all the hopeless romantics and eternal believers in love, empaths and dreamers, poetry lovers and soft souls. Never change - you bring a vital compassion to this arduous world.

in Passionate Love Poems

Pull away the world
so that it is just us two.
Silence the chaos
inside and outside our heads.

Pull away the world
so that it is just us two.
Silence the chaos
inside and outside our heads.
Let us follow the purity
of our foolish hearts
if only for right now.
Search my eyes
for who we used to be.
And when you find us,
kiss my lips so hard
that I believe
the poetry is real again.

Final Moments

Have you ever had a final moment with someone that you wish you could change?

in Breaking Up Poems

It wrecks me, that last moment
that played out so wrong.
Our hopeless eyes locked
just a few seconds too long.

It wrecks me, that last moment

Our hopeless eyes locked

to ask me to stay.
And your eyes welled up
as you walked away.

Trying To Balance Grief
- By Liz Newman
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2021 with permission of the Author.
One of the biggest things I’m learning about grief is how it demands different things from you every day. Some days, you’re able to get a lot done. You’re able to smile and be fully present with people. Everything feels fully balanced and manageable...steady. But other days, even normal daily tasks feel impossible to balance. And despite your best efforts, you can’t do it all. You try and build your schedule to match the day before, but it wobbles and leans and comes crashing down at your feet.

Grief will demand different things of you every day. Some days will be harder than others, but please don’t be harder on yourself because of it. The harder days need the most kindness, the most support, the most gentleness. The harder days need the most grace. If today is a harder day, I’m praying with you. I’m hurting with you. I’m holding on to hope with you.

in Grief Poems

Grief stacks
Itself up
Up
Up

Grief stacks
Itself up
Up
Up
As you try and balance
Your daily tasks
Your emotions
Your pain
The tower
Wobbles
As you try
To do everything
You normally do
Everything you
Normally can
But right now
You can’t
And it comes
All
The way
Down
