  1. 21. Shadows

    I wrote this short poem after talking to a friend of mine, who lives alone after losing his loved ones. There have been times when I've felt the same way.

    I'm living under a shadow,
    No shape, no sound, no time.
    A black and white silent film
    That haunts a troubled mind.

  3. 22. The Forgotten Mother

    Shortly after her death, I found a copy of this poem in my mother's belongings.

    A gray old woman sits all alone,
    Unloved, uncherished, and unknown.
    Sitting beside her broken door,
    Dreaming of days passed long ago,

  5. 23. Unseen, Unheard

    This poem is about someone who is struggling and is alone in their battle. Their partner doesnt want to see it and believes them when they say they're fine. They leave and are finally "seen" by someone who knows what it's like to fight alone.

    • By Ebony Black

    Unseen, unheard, my voiceless cries
    I tell you I'm fine through honeyed lies
    You smile and nod, just what you wanted to hear
    You don't really care, that much is clear

    I think that is true to every person's life, and what he or she needs is patience that brings a glorious morning after a gloomy night. I had also once gone through such dark days, which later...

  7. 25. That Girl

    It's about me and how I feel in school and life...

    A silent tear falls from her eyes
    As she falls on her knees and cries
    No one can see her pain-filled life
    It doesn't show in her hazel eyes

  8. 26. Release

    Constantly thinking about the past and what I would change if possible. The future looks rather bleak due to my personal health issues. I'm disabled with other major health issues which have had me in the hospital at least 3 to 5 times per year since 1998. Family isn't always supportive. I've been taken to the hospital by ambulance without anyone in my family knowing and they live with me. Last year was in the ICU for five days before anyone in my family knew.

    I often walk in early morn
    engrossed in time's once new.
    with thoughts and dreams of things long past,
    the carefree days of youth.

    Poem about emotional walls and how to overcome pain and feeling alone

    It’s cold and it’s dark,
    In this place that I hide,
    I’ve built up these walls,
    I let no-one inside.

  10. 28. An Untitled Person

    Although the poem is rather short, it took a long time to think of it. The poem does reflect how I sometimes feel when I'm lonely. "You" isn't a specific person, but it's just the world in general.

    • By Amiee Lyons
    • Published by Family Friend Poems October 2013 with permission of the Author.

    Untitled - that's me.
    I have a name, but it's never used.
    I have a mind, but like the rest of me...it's confused

  11. 29. Trust?

    I have really close friends that are afraid of opening up because of the life that they lived. This is for them in the hope that they can one day open up.

    After I knew the person you showed the world,
    I searched for the person you are.
    He was nowhere around
    Where was he to be found?

  12. 30. Time To Set Sail

    I wrote this poem about myself after an extended period of not dating.

    My heart is but an island
    Inside this castaway.
    Surrounded by the ocean blue,
    I hope to sail someday.

  13. 31. Invisibility

    A lady friend of mine had just turned 75, and she said she had reached the age of invisibility, so I wrote this poem with her in mind.

    • By James T. Atkins
    • Published by Family Friend Poems November 2019 with permission of the Author.

    As a child, I recall, I used to think the coolest thing to be,
    truly nothing could be more fun than invisibility.

    I could sneak up on my sisters and scare them if I chose.

    This poem is about me feeling lonely and worthless. I've claimed many friends who didn't even care about me, who always left me behind.

    Hurting
    Because no one cares at all.
    Crying
    Because no one hears me call.

  15. 33. Fragile Heart

    Sometimes I just don't feel like my normal self. I'll be sad throughout the day, randomly cry, and have nightmares that wake me up in the middle of the night. Sometimes every single thing that I've ever been sad or stressed about pops in my head at the same time, and it makes me feel this way. If you are struggling with something similar, please just remember that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Jesus is with you and loves you. I'm praying for you.

    My life is falling apart,
    Can't get rid of this fragile heart,
    Headache from all the tears,
    Restless sleep, thinking about fears.
