Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall
- By Madelyn F. Lanier
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 25, 2022 with permission of the Author.
This poem is about how girls are often taken for granted and corrected, regardless of how hard we try. This often stems into insecurity that sticks with us for the rest of our lives. Everything I mention in this poem is something most girls have thought about, some time or another. Everyone is perfect the way they are! Jesus loves you! Remember that you are a daughter of the King!

A Poem About Unhealthy Expectations For Women

in Poems about Teen Life

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
I have an inquiry, it's not at all small

Cinderella, tall and fair,

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
I have an inquiry, it's not at all small

Cinderella, tall and fair,
Does she ever worry about her skin or her hair?

Oh, Snow White, fairest in the land,
Does she get insecure about her arms or her hands?

Beautiful Aurora, sweet, yet not witty,
Does she cringe when people say, "Well, at least you're pretty"?

Kind and smart Belle, always stuck in a book,
Does it hurt when they say, "Women should just clean and cook"?

Elsa, the ice queen with a loving sister,
Does she scoff when people say, "You need a mister"?

Warrior Mulan, courageous and strong,
Is she ever told, "Be more ladylike, you're sitting wrong"?

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair,
Does she ever wonder if people even care?

Do they ever find fault in their thighs or their hips?
Do they ever critique their nose or their lips?

I'm not a flawless princess, not a picture of perfection
I'm a normal, modern girl left with criticism and correction.

Behind This Face
- By Lee W. Barker
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2019 with permission of the Author.
This poem is written from a very personal view during my battle with depression. This talks about the fact that you have to hide your true feelings and the constant act that you put on to the people around you.

Hiding Your True Feelings When Suffering From Depression

in Depression Poems

Behind this calm face there is a raging storm,
Like a war in my head since the day I was born.

Behind this smile there is a lonely sad frown,

Behind this calm face there is a raging storm,
Like a war in my head since the day I was born.

Behind this smile there is a lonely sad frown,
Acting oh so happy when really you are down.

Behind these blue eyes is a bright burning fire,
Flames flickering out of control, getting higher.

Behind this laugh when I'm laughing out loud,
There's a tear like a rain drop from a dull cloud.

Behind these dry eyes is a waterfall of pain,
Trying to plug the leak, but the effort is in vain.

Behind this confident man is a shy little boy,
The youngster from school, so lonely and coy.

Between my ears is a fight inside my head,
Happy against sad or living battling dead.

Behind this big heart it is shattered like glass,
Still not healed from the bully in the class.

Behind the happiness lies sadness deep down,
Swimming against the tide trying not to drown.

The Year
- By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Famous Poem

In this famous New Year’s poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, she shares the reality of each new year. Time continues to move forward—years come and they go. Every new year is marked by great expectations, but the reality is that each year is filled with both joyous and sorrowful moments. This poem is made up of rhyming couplets (two-line stanzas).

in Famous Holiday Poems

What can be said in New Year rhymes,
That’s not been said a thousand times?

The new years come, the old years go,

What can be said in New Year rhymes,
That’s not been said a thousand times?

The new years come, the old years go,
We know we dream, we dream we know.

We rise up laughing with the light,
We lie down weeping with the night.

We hug the world until it stings,
We curse it then and sigh for wings.

We live, we love, we woo, we wed,
We wreathe our brides, we sheet our dead.

We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,
And that’s the burden of the year.

Charming Spring
- By Patricia L. Cisco
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2018 with permission of the Author.
My poem is a about the delights of spring we all patiently await and the charms of spring that awakens our senses up with gentle breezes, fresh colors, lovely scents, and songs of nature. It is refreshing after a long, cold winter. I hope it can remind readers of the loveliness and gracefulness of spring.

The Loveliness Of Spring

in Spring Poems

Reminiscent melodies
serenade the morning breeze.

Feathered creatures nest with care

Reminiscent melodies
serenade the morning breeze.

Feathered creatures nest with care
in cherry blossoms pink and fair.

Perfumed scent of roses flow.
Tiny blades of green grass grow.

Misty showers soak the earth,
glorious colors come to birth.

Gathering clouds come and go,
rain, sun, and vibrant bow.

Dainty petals, fancy flair,
dancing in the warm, sweet air.

Violets, yellows, purest white,
graceful, gentle, welcomed sight.

Thank you, oh sweet lovely Spring,
patiently waiting the charms you bring!

Half Of My Heart Is Gone

My son passed away at the age of 29 years old, and I felt inspired to write this poem in memory of Matthew. This poem comes straight from my heart -- a grieving mother's heart. I also wanted to share this poem with people who have lost a son and understand the unbearable pain that our hearts go through.

The Heart Of A Grieving Mother

in Son Death Poems

Son, I wish I could wake up and see you standing there.
Then I would know that it was just a nightmare.

Son, I remember when you were small and how you would hold my hand,

Son, I wish I could wake up and see you standing there.
Then I would know that it was just a nightmare.

Son, I remember when you were small and how you would hold my hand,
and as you grew older you became my best friend.

Son, I have 29 years of memories that I will treasure and keep safe in my heart.
We share a bond that time and distance can never break apart.

Son, oh how my heart aches so.
I would love to have you back and never let you go.

Son, where there was happiness,
now there is sadness.

Son, how I long to hear your voice and see your beautiful smile
and have you back for just a little while.

Son, until that day I see you again,
I will look to the sky and search among the stars for my son and best friend.

Love,
Mom

You Will Always Hold My Heart
- By Ralph P Quinonez
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2018 with permission of the Author.
Being in love, knowing that everything is right, then it turns out so wrong. Your heart is broken, but you must keep your head up and carry on.

Poem About Grief And Being Gone Too Soon

in I Miss You Poems

I remember the first time we met.
It is something I will never forget.

The beauty that was shown in your face

I remember the first time we met.
It is something I will never forget.

The beauty that was shown in your face
Takes me to a very special place.

A warm feeling as you walked into the room.
Little did I know that I would never again see you; it came so soon.

Did I do something? Was it right or was it wrong?
It still haunts me like a very sad song.

I now have to live without you but know that you are oh so near.
It was such a tragedy, something I will always fear.

I have come to accept it now that you are not here with me.
I guess it was fate, something that was meant to be.

If it were my decision, you would still be here.
It seems that you have disappeared.

My heart has lost you; it hurts just to think
You were here one moment, then you were gone in a blink.

I miss your smile. I miss your face.
I miss your warm and tender embrace.

Who would have known how it would have ended? Who would have known?
I know that because of you, my heart will always be alone.

I am keeping my heart open, trying to be strong.
Loving a woman like you can never be wrong.

A Naughty Little Comet
- By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Famous Poem

This classic, fun, and rhythmic poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919) is a cautionary tale about a mother-daughter struggle that will be familiar to many parents of teenagers. The lesson taught is the virtues of a cautious and modest approach to life. The bold and fun loving daughter doesn't listen to the scolding of her wise mother and instead runs wild, reveling in her youth and beauty. In the end the mother's fears come true.

in Famous Funny Poems

There was a little comet who lived near the Milky Way!
She loved to wander out at night and jump about and play.

The mother of the comet was a very good old star;

There was a little comet who lived near the Milky Way!
She loved to wander out at night and jump about and play.

The mother of the comet was a very good old star;
She used to scold her reckless child for venturing out too far.

She told her of the ogre, Sun, who loved on stars to sup,
And who asked no better pastime than in gobbling comets up.

But instead of growing cautious and of showing proper fear,
The foolish little comet edged up nearer, and more near.

She switched her saucy tail along right where the Sun could see,
And flirted with old Mars, and was as bold as bold could be.

She laughed to scorn the quiet stars who never frisked about;
She said there was no fun in life unless you ventured out.

She liked to make the planets stare, and wished no better mirth
Than just to see the telescopes aimed at her from the Earth.

She wondered how so many stars could mope through nights and days,
And let the sickly faced old Moon get all the love and praise.

And as she talked and tossed her head and switched her shining trail
The staid old mother star grew sad, her cheek grew wan and pale.

For she had lived there in the skies a million years or more,
And she had heard gay comets talk in just this way before.

And by and by there came an end to this gay comet's fun.
She went a tiny bit too far-and vanished in the Sun!

No more she swings her shining trail before the whole world's sight,
But quiet stars she laughed to scorn are twinkling every night.

We Lost Each Other
- By Sierra
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2016 with permission of the Author.
This poem is about a breakup that was long coming. It's about having a lot of mixed emotions during the breakup. I knew it was imminent, but that doesn't make it hurt any less. For a long time we were going down different paths, but I still held on to the chance that we might go back to where we used to be.

Heartfelt Poem About Letting Go Of A Relationship

in Breaking Up Poems

I could ask you to stay,
But there's really nothing left to say.

This breakup has been emotional and long,

I could ask you to stay,
But there's really nothing left to say.

This breakup has been emotional and long,
But I know I'm strong.

I guess we naturally grew apart,
But it still hurts in my heart.

We went days without speaking or sending a text,
And I could only wonder what was next.

There were times we couldn't look each other in the eye.
How did we get this far, and why did something so special have to die?

As I write this, memories flood me.
They remind of all we used to be.

Even when things were bad, I never thought this relationship would end.
Our broken hearts I thought we could mend.

Now you've left without a goodbye.
I've got no energy to even cry.

I knew it was over when we started doing things on our own.
You got so distant and I was alone.

I tried getting you to notice that I was still there,
But you made up your mind and didn't care.

There are many nights when you're all that's on my mind.
I hope happiness is what you find.

There are days when I just can't get out of bed.
But "try" is what you always said.

So every day I try to put on a smile.
Even if it's not a real one for a while.

We were together for so many years, so do you ever shed tears?
I know I've got to let you go,

And someday I will,
But mixed emotions are what I feel.

We both made our fair share of mistakes.
It feels like I'm drowning in sadness, anger, and resentment, all in different lakes.

I honestly wish you nothing but the best
As my strength and endurance is put to the test.

Second Best
- By Rachel Jane
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2016 with permission of the Author.
This is a poem about being second best to an ex. Having been with my partner for 22 years and having 3 children to him, I get hurt when I know he's being thinking about an ex he had before me (he saw her for 6 months; she was married and aborted his baby). Unfortunately, whenever my partner feels low, he starts to go over everything bad from his past and struggles to see what he has in his life now: a nice house, car, loving and loyal partner, and three amazing kids.

Poem About Being Second Best To An Ex

in Confused about Love Poems

I have a heart and it's quite broken.
I read your words as if they were spoken.

You'll always love her for the rest of your life,

I have a heart and it's quite broken.
I read your words as if they were spoken.

You'll always love her for the rest of your life,
But she didn't want you; she was another man's wife.

She used you and left you a shell of a man.
I picked you up and gave you all that I can.

I give you my all, and it's never enough.
Reading the memoirs you write for her are extremely tough.

I hate a woman I've never even met.
She took the best of you, and left you a wreck.

To her, you were merely an escape and a fling.
The day she abandoned you, then you felt her sting.

But why spend so many years trying to turn back time?
I've got the punishment for another woman's crime.

I hate myself for being second best.
I should have left you alone and searched like the rest.

But for you I felt pity, I saw a person to heal.
But my emotions are wasted, you don't care how I feel.

I should feel loved, wanted and desired.
Instead I feel lonely, weary, and tired.

A few words of wisdom to my younger self,
It's better to be left up on the shelf.

Don't put up with less than you deserve.
You should always be a priority, never a reserve.

Why Play At Being Real?
- By Shannon Michelle Haynes
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2016 with permission of the Author.
I was inspired to write this poem after being stood up for the 3rd time by a guy who had led me to believe he was completely into me. Phone conversations in the middle of the night that would last for hours, dates that were absolutely awesome on every level, unbelievable rapport and compatibility, physical attraction... just a lot in common... like twin flames. But then he started making dates but never showed or even called, sometimes until a week or two later. Then he just stopped... no closure.

Poem About Being Played By A Guy

in Betrayal Poems

He blew into my life like a sweet summer breeze,
Stole my heart in an instant, made me weak in the knees...

He seemed so sincere when he'd look in my eyes

He blew into my life like a sweet summer breeze,
Stole my heart in an instant, made me weak in the knees...

He seemed so sincere when he'd look in my eyes
And say the things I've waited to hear my whole life.

I thought he was different... I thought he was real.
I never thought I could feel the way he made me feel.

I just don't understand why he wasted the time
When there was nothing to gain on his end or mine.

It was perfectly senseless...not one reason why
He would just disappear without saying goodbye.

He had me floating on air, then let me crash to the ground.
It's too much to wrap my mind around.

Why play at being real? No one wins in the end.
Someone always gets hurt when the other pretends.

Why say all those things when you don't mean a word?
It's mean and it's cruel...it's completely absurd.

Now I'm left here to wonder what could've gone wrong,
Why he just stopped calling, why he strung me along?

My thoughts, they consume me, like a crop consumes rain.
Another sleepless night just might drive me insane.

I toss and I turn over and over again.
I can't help but feel like I've lost my best friend.

But a friend would be honest, wouldn't play with your heart.
A friend wouldn't lie to you right from the start.

A friend would still be there come tomorrow...
A friend would comfort, not cause you sorrow.

I wonder if....whatever his reasons may be
That surely he knew his actions would hurt me?

And I wonder if from time to time
The thought of me might cross his mind?

Does he think about my "angel" eyes
Filled with tears because he lied?

Does my memory haunt him in his sleep?
For him it's probably not that deep.

I truly wish him all the best,
Hope he's okay and finds happiness...

Finds everything he's looking for....
Good health, true love and so much more.

I miss him, and it breaks my heart,
That it had to end before it got to start.

All Good Things Come To An End
- By Greg Thung
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2016 with permission of the Author.
Smooth sailing one day, but then you're left stranded by the one you love and trust the most. The moments we had were perfect, and they couldn't have been any better. But all good comes to an end. And this is what my poem is about.
And if you ever read this Jen, thank you for everything. You truly gave me the happiest moments of my life. You showed me how happy I could be and the potential I had. Thank you.

When Your Love Leaves You

in Breaking Up Poems

All good things come to an end,
Even the gifts that God sends,

Like her, the angel He sent from above

All good things come to an end,
Even the gifts that God sends,

Like her, the angel He sent from above
who was the one person I truly loved.

She changed everything and made my life worthwhile.
She was the only one who could make me smile.

She really doesn't understand how much she means.
I'll never be as happy as I've been.

She was my heart and my soul,
She filled me with joy and made me whole.

She was my world, my greatest treasure.
I loved her so much that it couldn't be measured.

I remember every kiss and touch.
All our memories I miss so much.

I wish we could go back in time,
When I was hers and she was mine.

I'd always protect her and let nothing harm her.
How ironic it was though that she was my armor.

She always made me feel so secure.
No matter what went wrong, she always had a cure.

With her, I felt absolutely no fear,
But now I'm scared of anything that comes near.

She healed me and put me back together,
So I held on to her; she was my tether.

Sadly, she suddenly cut the rope,
And with it went my happiness and hope.

The spell had finally been broken
As I realized I had awoken.

It had all just been a dream,
No matter how real it may have seemed.

Everything I felt had been an illusion,
Explained by the way it left me in shock and confusion.

My best dream became my worst nightmare.
She vanished while she was right there.

She left me to struggle on my own.
She left me stranded, isolated, and all alone.

I had to wake up and realize
That the only real truth are real lies.

But I can truly tell her, "You're the sweetest dream I ever had,"
And for that, I can only be grateful and glad.

To be happy again, I'll have to relive the past.
Hold on to every memory for as long as they last,

To look back at how I used to feel,
To remember them as if they were real.

Even though it's over, l'll have to pretend,
Because all good things must come to an end.

Poem About The Bond Between Siblings

A gentle kiss upon the cheek,
Their love growing stronger with each week.

A gentle kiss upon the cheek,
Their love growing stronger with each week.

Watching them make each other laugh,
Watching them happily sharing a bath.

The two of them lying together on the floor,
The smile on their faces is a sight to adore.

When new siblings bond, it brings great pleasure.
And as they grow up, it is something to treasure.

I'd push things off the mantelpiece.

If I were King of Norroway,
I'd ask an elephant to stay.

If I were King of Babylon,
I'd leave my button gloves undone.

If I were King of Timbuctoo,
I'd think of lovely things to do.

If I were King of anything,
I'd tell the soldiers, "I'm the King!"

Would it be alright to long for the day

To pull you close and whisper in your ear
And tell you our feelings are nothing to fear?

Mysterious Love
- By Jojo Cywinski
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2015 with permission of the Author.
Have you ever just looked at the person you're in love with and thought, "Wow, how on earth did I find this person? How did I get someone so amazing and so perfect?" Love makes you feel emotions you never thought you could feel before. Sometimes it makes your life, your whole world, surreal. It's an overpowering feeling, and it can be so hard to explain these emotions, thoughts, feelings you have towards them (that no one else has for them). I'm sure a lot of you can relate...

As I lay here in the dark by your side,
You bring me great love, and I feel great pride.

For you, my darling, are my number one.
A tidal wave could approach and you'd still be my sun.

I'd protect you throughout,
No matter what.

Even at war,
I'd take a shot.

I'd take a bullet from the enemy's gun,
Just to save you, my precious one.

You're like a diamond in a million ways.
For a man like you, every girl prays,

Hard to find,
But close to my heart,

Mysteries aside,
Not just for the smart.

Deep in the ocean,
But standing on shore,

You're determined you love me,
But I love you more.

Never Give In
- By Greg Thung
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2015 with permission of the Author.
This is my first poem I ever wrote for a school project in 7th grade. I was looking through my computer files and stumbled across this. I thought I would share this here since I feel it can help inspire some people not to give up.

Standing Strong In The Face Of Adversity

in Inspirational Poems by Teens

Sometimes in life the road becomes slippery and you tumble and fall.
But don't lose heart; just get up and forget it all.

When you think you've had enough and can't take anymore,

Sometimes in life the road becomes slippery and you tumble and fall.
But don't lose heart; just get up and forget it all.

When you think you've had enough and can't take anymore,
don't think like that; thoughts like that should be ignored.

If you're dangling off the edge of a cliff, hold that rope.
Call for help because someone will pull you back up. There's always hope.

When you've lost your way in the darkness of night,
Just keep walking because the sun will rise and guide you with its light.

You go every which way in a dark cave, and it seems like an impossible puzzle.
Keep going and you'll find the way out, for there's always a light at the end of a tunnel.

Nothing can shatter your dreams of the past.
This is the reason that makes your journey last.

When you try to achieve your dreams, you will have to suffer and strive.
But do everything it takes to get there. Hang in there and you will survive.

The reward you earn will pay off for the efforts you have sacrificed.
You will feel the joy and glory rush into you and that will feel really nice!

Never give up, never back down.
If you prevail, you will be the one to wear the crown.

Don't let anything get in your way.
It's all about how you do it and your style of play.

So never give up on your dreams,
No matter how hard they may seem.

Sun in the sky blazing like a silver ball
Makes wheat and vegetables to be tall

Every morning breeze shakes the green trees
Brings us joy and the smell of fragrant leaves

Boiling springs in the heart of high mountains
Are welcoming the thirsty birds sitting in tens

Farmers' busy time on the fields gathering crops
Tired bodies sweating look like they stopped the clocks

Harvest season of juicy and watery fruits
Greatest reason refresh dry and thirsty throats

Children's laughter and playing shouts fill the air
Up and down, jumping and kicking with no care

Everyone does a job, men bring and chop the logs
Little children go after one another and play with bugs

Time
- By Joe Massocco
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2015 with permission of the Author.
Although I am only 26 years of age, I feel as if (in reference to The Rolling Stones' great song) time is no longer on our side. My family gets smaller as the years pass. I no longer have any grandparents, and the rest of the family rarely talks or gets along. I'm sure each reader thinks about how they really wish they appreciated their youth more, but we can't stop time; we can only cherish it.

Poem About How Time Flies

in Poems about Life Struggles

Tick tock...tick tock...
Life is counting down on your internal clock.

Memories that feel as if they occurred yesterday

Tick tock...tick tock...
Life is counting down on your internal clock.

Memories that feel as if they occurred yesterday
turn to flashes of moments that seem to fade away.

People you once knew
walk by without a clue.

The times you once shared
exist as if you were never there.

Years fly...friends die...
and you never know when you'll say your last goodbye.

Oh, how I wish I could turn back time,
spend it with loved ones and cherish what once was mine.

Or to go back even more,
being a kid in a candy store.

How I miss the way I used to feel
on Christmas day when Santa was real.

But back to reality...back to today,
family is scarce and memories continue to fade away.

Tick tock...tick tock...
How I wish I could control this clock.

My Grampie
- By Jessica Higgins
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2014 with permission of the Author.
My grandfather recently died, and it just broke my heart. My family was military, so my visits with him weren't always very common; however, that never changed the way I felt about him. He was what made up my best childhood memories, and for that I am forever grateful!

Sweet Poem Remembering Grandpa

in Grandfather Death Poems

My love for my Grampie will always be alive.
Although he is gone, his legacy will survive.

In the things he taught me and love he would show,

My love for my Grampie will always be alive.
Although he is gone, his legacy will survive.

In the things he taught me and love he would show,
I am forever grateful, and it's to him I owe.

From the rain, to the dust, to the stars, and the sand,
You will be among me daily, holding my hand.

Your smile will always be etched in my mind.
Another Grampie like you would be impossible to find.

I know your trip of life was fulfilled and long,
For that makes this easier and helps keep me strong.

Your life was a blessing to all you knew,
But I know you're up there now, making your big debut.

Greeting Grammy with big hug and a kiss,
I know she's been waiting, but it's something I'll miss.

You know that I love you and you left too soon,
But to me, you'll always be the guy who hung the moon.

Make It Green

There is a competition in my son's school for poetry reciting. The topic is "Save Our Mother Earth." I did not have any poem, and my internet was not working, so I started writing this poem, and the result is what you are reading.

Poem About Saving Earth

in Earth Poems

Lives are crying because it's not clean.
Earth is dying because it's not green...

Earth is our dear Mother; don't pollute it.

Lives are crying because it's not clean.
Earth is dying because it's not green...

Earth is our dear Mother; don't pollute it.
She gives us food and shelter; just salute it...

With Global Warming, it's in danger.
Let's save it by becoming a strong ranger...

With dying trees and animals, it's in sorrow.
Make green today and green tomorrow...

With melting snow, one day it will sink.
How can we save it? Just think...

Trees are precious, preserve them.
Water is a treasure, reserve it...

Grow more trees; make Mother Earth green.
Reduce pollution and make her a Queen...
