You Have Shattered Every Memory Of Us
- By Jordan Byrnehouser
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Hurting Poems

You have drowned every emotion of us,
Held it under water until it could no longer breathe.
You have shattered every memory of us,
Like glass, touching it I risk hurting every time.

You have drowned every emotion of us,
Held it under water until it could no longer breathe.
You have shattered every memory of us,
Like glass, touching it I risk hurting every time.
You have burned any future of us,
Only left ashes of what could have been.
We could have been great together.
We could have made it.

The hard truth of having one too many last changes. Sometime there is no coming back from crossing the line. We may not be able to fix what we broke, but learning from it can help prevent us...

You Are Enough
- By Bethny Ricks
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2021 with permission of the Author.
Along the way I have learned a tough lesson: even in my imperfection I am still worthy of love, someone’s time, and a consistent feeling of wholeness.
My value is not connected to perfection, strength, or my ability to weather a storm. Which means that even on those days when I struggle to show up or feel ill-equipped, I am still a woman of worth and value

in Inspirational Poems

You are enough
You have always been enough, and
You will forever be
Enough

You are enough
You have always been enough, and
You will forever be
Enough

no matter what you see
how you feel, or the lies you may
believe

The Healing Power Of Mother Nature
- By Shelby Ensign
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2020 with permission of the Author.
The weight of life is much too heavy for us all at times. I’ve found nature to be one of the best healers for anxiety.

in Short Poems

maybe the answer is simple,
and all along
there's been relief--
if the strands of your soul

maybe the answer is simple,
and all along
there's been relief--
if the strands of your soul
feel frayed and withered,
sit within the arms
of Mother Nature
and her quiet love
will mend them

When You Are Willing To Let Go

When you are willing
to let go of
what you are used to
and what you are

When you are willing
to let go of
what you are used to

comfortable with,

you will be given
exactly what you need

There Is An End To This
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2021 with permission of the Author.
I’ve struggled with my mental health for a long time now, and like anything, there are good days and bad days. But even at my lowest points, I try and remember the things I have already survived. I try and remind myself that every cracking sinew is just a moment in time.

Ultimately, no matter how desperate I’ve felt, no matter how unsurvivable the breakdown may seem, the surface of the water is always reachable, eventually. Sometimes you just need to hold your breath a little longer.

in Hope Poems

There is
an end to this,
I promise you.
Even when

There is
an end to this,
I promise you.
Even when
it feels like
you’re breathing
Lungfuls
of water,
the surface
is closer
than you think.

You Already Were

in Inspirational Poems

You were beautiful
before they said, you are beautiful

You were smart

You were beautiful

You were loved
before they spoke those three words

Letting Go
- By S.C. Lourie
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Change Poems

She was scared to let go.
She was worried that everything might fall apart.
But she felt this heaviness, every day, growing in her heart.
So she took a deep breath.

She was scared to let go.
She was worried that everything might fall apart.
But she felt this heaviness, every day, growing in her heart.
So she took a deep breath.
She opened her hands and let it all go.
And what’s when she saw beauty above her brow,
telling her it was now *her* time to grow.
Releasing her fears, she realised what it felt like to be free.
It felt amazing, she felt like the joyous girl
she once used to be.
The chains in her mind had lied to her, saying that they
were present to hold everything in place.
But now her wings held everything together.
It was time to fold her fears away.

You're Not Alone In This
- By Lauren Bowman
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Poems about Life Struggles

You’re not alone in this; you know that, right?
There are others like you.
Hiding. Running. Wishing
for a desire they keep hidden

You’re not alone in this; you know that, right?
There are others like you.
Hiding. Running. Wishing
for a desire they keep hidden
(but terrified of it coming true)
Swaying. Hoping. Begging
for change.
(but terrified of something new)
Hesitant but leaping.
Whole but looking for what they’ve lost.
Wanting the world to see them
but unsure of who they are.

Better Will Come
- By M.B.Victoria
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2020 with permission of the Author.
It is so important to always hold on to hope. You owe it to yourself, and by holding on to hope you are allowing things to unfold in such a way that you are more likely to come across brighter days.

in Short Poems

Have faith
that although it may seem
like the good has come and gone,
there will be better.

Have faith
that although it may seem
like the good has come and gone,

The better will
enter your life suddenly,
unexpectedly,
taking your breath away.

Second chances,

In so many forms.

Painful habits.

Life-changing love.
In giving energy
To fight for
The things that matter.
Strength comes

I Need Your Support
- By Raquel Franco
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2021 with permission of the Author.
I’ve had many (maybe too many) times where I chose the poison. Maybe it was a guy, a drink, my depression, food... and the people around me, most of them just told me what I should or shouldn’t be doing when all I needed was support. If you know someone struggling, hold them, love them, tell them they are strong. Support them, believe in them and trust that it will pass. Hold them along the journey.

in Addiction Poems

This is my drowning,
my teeth sinking
into sour apples
and I’m not hiding

This is my drowning,
my teeth sinking
into sour apples
and I’m not hiding

but I don’t need you
to tell me to stop picking
poison fruit. I need you
to tell me you know I’m strong,

to offer your arms as tender
until I discover on my own
that I no longer crave
the bite.
