81. A Place To Be
- By Abimbola T. Alabi
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 9, 2022
We all love being free. Still, how many really are? In the competitive, acquisitive world of today, I sometimes wonder how often we live free.

Poem About Being At Ease

Ever gotten there?
To that place where
You have nothing to prove
and can just be.

Ever gotten there?
To that place where
You have nothing to prove
and can just be.
Nothing to hide
and all can see.
Nothing to lose
and so you can breathe.
Right in that place where
you know you're free.

Taking Care Of Yourself

I used to believe
that I had to learn
how to love myself
before I could take care
of myself.

But I’ve realized that
taking care of myself
is actually teaching me
how to love myself.

84. 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.

85. There Is An End To This
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 28, 2021
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.

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.

Sometimes
you’ve got to look
straight into the
tired eyes of the
woman staring back
at you in the mirror
and tell her that
she deserves the
best kind of love,
the best kind of life
and devote yourself to
giving it to her
all over again.

87. 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.

88. I Love To Breathe In
- By Ann D. Stevenson
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 23, 2022
I lost my sense of smell when I got Covid, which made me appreciate my favourite scents much more when my sense of smell returned.

Recovering My Sense Of Smell After Covid

Homely aromas
of freshly baked bread.
Scents of the garden
infused in my head.

Homely aromas
of freshly baked bread.
Scents of the garden
infused in my head.

Wiffs of the sea
whilst walking the beach.
Sniffs of freshness
from an apple or peach.

The essence of a baby
breathed in from its skin.
And my love, ah my love,
I love breathing you in.

89. Give Yourself The Gift Of Silence
- By M.B.Victoria
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 9, 2021
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.

- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2020
Have faith in your heart. I promise it will mend.

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

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.

92. You Already Were

- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2, 2021
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

93. Two Hundred Thirty-Three
- By Tanya Markul
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021
From Tanya Markul's second poetry collection, The She Book v.2

Stop Trying To Fit Into The World

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.

94. The Girl I Used To Be
- By Stephanie Bennett-Henry
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 4, 2021
Try as I may, try as I do,

Try as I may, try as I do,
there are days when I wish
I could go back
to the girl I used to be
and tell her about
all the roads to avoid.
But if I did that
I may not have become
the girl I am now,
and I am too proud of her
to risk taking even one piece
of her journey away.

You have come so far,
