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
and what you are
comfortable with,

you will be given
exactly what you need
to get to where

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.

Strength comes
In so many forms.
In giving people
Second chances,

Strength comes
In so many forms.
In giving people
Second chances,
In giving up
Painful habits.
In giving ourselves
And others
Life-changing love.
In giving energy
To fight for
The things that matter.
Strength comes
in so many forms.

She Makes Me Whole
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021 with permission of the Author.
I've never thought of her as perfect. But she was the closest I've ever been to knowing what it means to belong. The truth is, I still don't know what love means, but when I hear the word, I think of her.

in Short Love Poems

I don’t think
she is perfect.
She is flawed and broken
like the rest of us.

I don’t think
she is perfect.
She is flawed and broken
like the rest of us.
But the pieces she has
left of her heart
match the pieces
missing from mine.
She is not perfect
but she does
make me whole.

Take the time you need

Take the time you need

You owe it to
yourself to work on
your healing.

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.

There's Always Hope

baby, during the nights when the midnight sky
falls heavily onto your bones and wraps you
in its melancholic embrace

baby, during the nights when the midnight sky
falls heavily onto your bones and wraps you
in its melancholic embrace

keep a light alive inside of you
I know how dark the darkness can get
how tempting it can be

but please remember
you can be your own guiding light
you have the ability to shine despite it all
hope is always with you

Dozens of times
throughout your life,
you’ll outgrow what
you thought you
couldn’t live without,
and fall in love with
what you didn’t even

Life will lead you on
hard yet necessary
paths you’d never
travel by choice.
Don’t be afraid.
Have faith.
Trust the journey.

Of this I am certain:
your heart is a tender
wound that will always heal,
wears grace like a grown,
finds warmth even when
it has frozen over
like a lake, grows roots
after crawling into cold
coffins. There is no break
your heart can’t come back
from.

Hearts are delicate
yet incredibly resilient.
They break and break open,

They’re filled

And yet, they remain.
They fight. and they remain.
You fight. And you remain.

I can be the silence

I can be the silence

pattering on your rooftop
when you need that lullaby.

and be at ease.

in Mother Child Poems

these tired hands

to cross a busy city street

these tired hands
guide my children
to catch fireflies in magical meadows
to cross a busy city street
these heavy arms
hold soft, smiling infants
and carry their worlds
these blistered feet
dance wild and free, barefeet
to steady their shaky ground
these eyes
see truth
see hope
see life
in the eyes of my babies
and so-
I keep walking.
