41. The Terrifying Thing About Love
- By Madalina Coman
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2020
This is a popular piece from Madalina Coman's poetry book Unforgettable.

It is a terrifying thing
to watch love
walk in your direction
when you believe

It is a terrifying thing
to watch love
walk in your direction
when you believe
you are not ready
to receive it.

In the same manner,

it is quite terrifying
watching love
walk away from you
when you are not yet ready
to let go.

42. I Don't Like
- By Sally.F
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2009
I'm not a very hateful person, but I had to write an "I don't like" poem for school.

I don't like poachers and animal harmers,
Like Japanese whalers and fox shooting farmers.
I don't like people who waste and litter,
Bully and hurt or speak very bitter.

I don't like poachers and animal harmers,
Like Japanese whalers and fox shooting farmers.
I don't like people who waste and litter,
Bully and hurt or speak very bitter.
I don't like people who hurt plants and trees,
Who just don't care and do as they please.
I don't war and bullets of lead
And not much more than I've already said.

43. The Dark Days Will Pass
- By Harpreet M. Dayal
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2020
There will be dark days,
when you feel alone
with your aching heart
but that doesn’t mean

There will be dark days,
when you feel alone
with your aching heart
but that doesn’t mean
you will always be.
The sun will always
peer through the clouds.
Let its light show you
the love you have forgotten.

I wrote this after a trip in the snow with my best friend.

As our feet sink in the snow
We build a snowman
No one will know
For the snow will melt away

45. That Feeling Of Forever
- By Laura
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2008
I want that feeling.
You know?
That feeling of forever.
So simple,

I want that feeling.
You know?
That feeling of forever.
So simple,
Yet combined with everything
Love, lust, happiness, sadness
Everything.
But still,
I want that feeling.
You know?
That feeling of forever.

49. This Is Who I Am
- By Megan R. Bentz
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2016
I wrote this poem for my history class, and it expresses who I am in a way but also gives the reader a chance to see who they think they are.

Surviving A Difficult Time In Your Life

This is who I am:
I am a fighter.
I have a lot of baggage from my past.
I may have some experience and some wisdom,

This is who I am:
I am a fighter.
I have a lot of baggage from my past.
I may have some experience and some wisdom,
But I know there is a lot more to learn.
I will continue rising from the ashes
Until the end.
Nothing can stop me
From being who I am.
So who are you?

50. Life Isn't Black And White
- By Lauren Bowman
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 25, 2021
You can be unhappy and still be in love.
You can be in love and still walk away.
You can walk away and still feel the weight of loss.
You can feel the weight of loss and still stand tall.

You can be unhappy and still be in love.
You can be in love and still walk away.
You can walk away and still feel the weight of loss.
You can feel the weight of loss and still stand tall.
You can stand tall and still be grieving.
You can be grieving and still find joy.
You can find joy and still miss what you had.
You can miss what you had and still long
for more.

51. A Fallen Leaf
- By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
When we are new to love, sometimes we fall too quickly and allow ourselves to be put in situations we end up regretting. Everything changes after that. Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919) was an American author and poet who became known as a poet even before graduating high school.

A trusting little leaf of green,
A bold audacious frost;
A rendezvous, a kiss or two,
And youth for ever lost.

A trusting little leaf of green,
A bold audacious frost;
A rendezvous, a kiss or two,
And youth for ever lost.
Ah, me!
The bitter, bitter cost.

A flaunting patch of vivid red,
That quivers in the sun;
A windy gust, a grave of dust,
The little race is run.
Ah, me!
Were that the only one.

52. Job Loss
- By Chefkitty
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2011
This poem is for people who have lost their jobs and are really sad about it. But it tells you that you should always have hope no matter what the situation. Without hope, you wouldn't be there at all!

Today I am tired,
Because I got fired,
And now I have nothing to do.

Today I am tired,
Because I got fired,
And now I have nothing to do.

I have no money.
My boss thinks it's funny,
And my brother laughs at me too!

But I've got hope,
And that's all I need,
For me to someday be in the lead!

53. The Marching Heart
- By Beau Taplin
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021
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.

57. The Hand Of Fate
- By Beau Taplin
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021
From Beau's book Here At Dawn: Poetry and Prose.

There is no reason to feel troubled
if your path has not been made clear to you yet.
When you remain true to your spirit,
courageous in action,

There is no reason to feel troubled
if your path has not been made clear to you yet.
When you remain true to your spirit,
courageous in action,
and listen ever to the
small guiding voice in your heart,
you find the universe soon points out its place for you,
and then leads you there
gently by the hand.

58. The Strength In You
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 28, 2021
I’ve spent my entire adult life struggling with anxiety, always worrying about the worst case scenario. Even now I don’t know how to love something without being terrified of losing it. If I’m honest, some days I feel like I’m built entirely of glass.
But I think there may be something profound in suffering; in the realisation that you’re stronger than you thought. I think back to the things I’ve been through, and while those experiences left their mark, I take solace in the fact that I’m still here; still pulling breath into these lungs. Maybe strength is a label that’s only earned from resilience; from enduring.
The truth is, I had no idea how much I could take until the world showed me. There is strength here, even if I never wanted to find it.

There is
a strength in you
you haven’t even
begun to find.

There is
a strength in you
you haven’t even
begun to find.

And that’s often
how life works.

You won’t know
how strong you are
until the world
forces you
to look.

59. Road To Nowhere

Sometimes it's great to just take off and go exploring. I love the beautiful scenery that you can find off the beaten path.

Taking A Chance On Something New

I like to blaze new trails
on the road to nowhere.
On a journey through time,
there are new vistas to behold

60. Choose How You Spend Your Time
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2020
I spend an inordinate amount of time in front of an empty page, or a computer screen. In part, because I’m terrified of being forgotten, of living a life that isn’t worth remembering. So I’m constantly trying to leave something behind, be it poetry, fiction, art or music. While this makes me feel better about dying, there is a part of me that wonders how much I’m missing out on. That wonders about how I’m choosing to spend my time in the light. This poem is featured in my debut book Tell The Birds She’s Gone.

You cannot
slow the setting
of the sun.
You can only choose

You cannot
slow the setting
of the sun.
You can only choose
how to spend
your time
in the light.
