in Life Lesson Poems

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
you truly want to be.

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
before they said, you are beautiful

You were smart
before they admired your smarts

You were funny
before they laughed at your jokes

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.

Strength Comes In So Many Forms

in Inspirational Poems

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.

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.

Give Yourself The Gift Of Silence
- By M.B.Victoria

in Poems about Life Struggles

Take the time you need
to crawl in a space
of silence.

Take the time you need
to crawl in a space
of silence.

You don’t owe anyone
any story, or
any explanation.

You owe it to
yourself to work on
your healing.

When You Cross My Mind
- By Lauren Bowman
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Moving On Poems

When you cross my mind,
my stomach no longer crisscrosses itself.

When that song comes on,

When you cross my mind,
my stomach no longer crisscrosses itself.

When that song comes on,
my heart no longer beats to its rhythm.

When I walk down our street,
my hands no longer feel empty without yours in them.

But you’re always on my mind,
and I play that song on repeat,
and my feet always seem to take me straight
to that street.

There's Always Hope
- By Vic Lejon
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Hope Poems

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

Your Heart Will Mend
- By Raquel Franco
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2020 with permission of the Author.
Have faith in your heart. I promise it will mend.

in Hope Poems

Of this I am certain:
your heart is a tender
wound that will always heal,
wears grace like a grown,

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.

Dozens of times

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

I Can Be Anything You Want And Need

in Short Love Poems

I can be the silence
when the world around you
gets to be too loud.

I can be the silence
when the world around you
gets to be too loud.

I can be the rain
pattering on your rooftop
when you need that lullaby.

I can be anything
you want and need
to make this life settle in
and be at ease.

Motherhood
- By Aurora Raine
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Mother Child Poems

these tired hands
guide my children
to catch fireflies in magical meadows
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.

Stop Trying To Fit Into The World

in Short Poems

When you stop trying
to fit into a world
that you don’t belong to anymore,
you grow

When you stop trying
to fit into a world
that you don’t belong to anymore,
you grow
and automatically start a new one
but with relaxed shoulders,
more laughter,
and way more magic.
